dashboard: the console in the order messages went
The console appended messages as their streams brought them, a subscribed node's later than this node's by its path, each line with its node's own clock's time: lines of one moment came apart, and their times read out of order. Each message is now listed by when its node logged it, on this node's clock, as the map runs them (`aheadOf`): one a slower stream brought late goes in among those of its moment. The time shown is on this node's clock; a subscribed node's own clock's time is in its tooltip.
