fix: console log peer API from its broken implementation (#14873)

console logging peer API was broken as it would
timeout after 15minutes, this never really worked
beyond this value and basically failed to provide
the streaming "log" functionality that was expected
from this implementation.

also fix convoluted channel handling by keeping things
simple, this is rewritten.
