 tab, disabling/updating the plugin, changing grants, switching projects or
 closing the window stops it, including a pending spawn.
 
+A plugin's code opens the same tab without a page, from a command or event of a
+window, with `host::open_log_tab(key, title, &log)` (WIT `views.open-log-tab`)
+and the `ProcessLog` the Services pane uses:
+
+```rust
+use openidea_plugin::details::ProcessLog;
+
+let log = ProcessLog::new("kubectl", &["logs", "-f", "deploy/api"]).toggle("previous", "Previous", &["--previous"]);
+host::open_log_tab("api-logs", "api logs", &log)?;
+```
+
+The call fails at once without the `process:<program>` grant or over the limits
+above. The host remembers what each key runs in that window, and the tab starts
+it by key, so nothing the tab sends names a program; a plugin keeps at most 32
+such tabs per window (opening more forgets the oldest). Tabs opened by code
+don't run in remote projects yet.

 The built fixture `crates/ide-plugin/tests/fixtures/web-log` exercises permission
