The reporter's problem was that --trace produced nothing on screen and the docs did not say where the output went. The console page now says, in the --trace row and in a new "Internal Trace Output" subsection, that the internal trace is written to log files in the work directory (--work, default current directory): InternalTrace.<pid>.log for the console/engine process (from TestEngine.Initialize) and a per-agent log such as nunit-agent_<pid>.log, and that nothing goes to the console.

Fixes #283

📖 Docs preview: https://pr-1281.nunit-docs.pages.dev

Built from b194c03. This link always shows the latest build for this PR; the build for this exact commit is at https://c04c4295.nunit-docs.pages.dev.

Previews are hosted on Cloudflare Pages, are not indexed by search engines, and are removed when the PR is closed. They omit the archived NUnit 2.x documentation (the /2.x/ pages), which never changes; use the live site for those.

…output-location

Resolved the conflict in Console-Command-Line.md by taking master's
realigned options table and reapplying the --trace row update.
