log list returns empty for unselected project slugs

[sentry-junior]

Reported by Sergiy Dybskiy.

sentry log list <org>/<project> can return No logs found in the last 30d even when the Events API has plenty of logs for that project. Org-wide explore/aggregate queries still work.

Root cause (high confidence)

In src/lib/api/logs.ts, listLogs() scopes slug targets only via search syntax:

const projectFilter = isNumericProject ? "" : `project:${projectSlug}`;
// ...
project: isNumericProject ? [Number(projectSlug)] : undefined,

For a normal slug it never sends the numeric project= query param. The logs Events API then only matches if that project is actively selected; otherwise it returns empty data: [] with no error.

Same class of bug already fixed for issues in #312.

Evidence

Against a project with hasLogs=true and hundreds of thousands of logs in 7d:

• org-wide logs query → works
• query=project:<slug> only → empty
• project=<numeric-id> → works
• query=project:<slug>&project=-1 → works
• sentry log list <org>/<slug> → empty
• sentry log list <org>/<numeric-id> → works
• some other projects still work via slug (selection-dependent)

Secondary gap

• Explicit org/project resolution returns slug only and drops projectId
• getLogs() (log view by id) uses the same project:{slug} pattern

Workaround

Pass the numeric project id:

sentry log list <org>/<project-id>

Likely fix

Resolve slug → numeric project id and pass project: [id] on the Events request (mirror issues), instead of relying on query=project:{slug} for scoping.
