Hey @swinggraphics – You’re right that this is still an issue. The Local team has been focused on other work lately, so this hasn’t been worked on. For some of your specific questions:
Do these thousands of messages mean that there are thousands of bugs that are not getting logged properly?
Not really. This is only an Xdebug message, which is a tool for development.
How can I just get the normal debug.log like WordPress creates by default when WP_DEBUG is enabled?
If you are not using things like the step debugger, then you can safely turn Xdebug off by clicking the toggle on the site overview page.
