Description

Debugging is a huge headache at this point, since we don't have any way of really generating verbose logs from the node/rpc and sometimes it fails silently.

We need to add something to display the logs from the node in a verbose way, most likely something like:

RUST_LOG="info,eth-rpc=debug,error,evm=debug,sc_rpc_server=info,runtime::revive=debug

We also need to define some values to display compiler outputs for logging and later debugging.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to integrate RUST LOG environment variable or similar logging configuration into the Hardhat Polkadot plugin to enable verbose node logs.
