## View run logs with fabro logs

Previously, the only way to follow a workflow's progress was through the terminal that started it. The new `fabro logs` command lets you view event logs for any run — active or completed — from any terminal. With `--pretty`, agent conversations render with formatted messages and tool calls instead of raw JSON.

```bash
fabro logs my-workflow --pretty
fabro logs -f abc123 -p
```

You can reference runs by name, ID prefix, or workflow slug. The `-f` flag follows live events as they happen.

## Background workflows with --detach

You can now fork a workflow into a background process with `fabro run --detach`, then reconnect later with `fabro logs -f`. This is useful for long-running workflows where you don't want to keep a terminal open.

```bash
fabro run my-workflow --detach
fabro logs -f my-workflow
```

## Rewind workflow runs

You can now rewind a workflow run to an earlier checkpoint and resume from there. This is useful when a later stage goes off-track and you want to try again from a known-good point without restarting the entire workflow.

```bash
fabro rewind my-run plan@2
```

Target a specific node by name, `node@visit` for a particular visit count, or `@ordinal` for a checkpoint index.
