Research direction
Start by reproducing the swo logs get --min-time command with a two-week date range and verify whether results are limited to roughly six hours. Then inspect the README's description of “recent” logs and document the confirmed retention window and CLI behavior there; done means the README matches what the command can retrieve.

Description
Looks like I can't search all my logs (2 weeks) via the CLI.
swo logs get --min-time '2025-11-04' Invoking | head -n 3
Dec 04 11:04:02 taskmaster-1 taskmaster-out.log JCRBsJQq Invoking SHIPSTATION_TRACKING_EVENT task worker
Dec 04 11:04:06 taskmaster-1 taskmaster-out.log Enr95KGg Invoking SHIPSTATION_TRACKING_EVENT task worker
Dec 04 11:04:07 taskmaster-1 taskmaster-out.log +InopusD Invoking SHIPSTATION_TRACKING_EVENT task worker
I'd expect logs from two weeks ago (2025-11-20), not today.
The readme says:
Standalone command line tool to retrieve and search recent app server logs from SolarWinds Observability.
If we can only get the last 6 hours of logs via the CLI, could that be clarified in the readme? I wouldn't have bothered setting up the CLI for this debugging session had I known.
