The Script Console runs within a space, so the button now lives on Deploy > Tasks rather than the global Tasks page. Also fix the custom step templates page linking "script console" to the web request logging page. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

| You can run script based custom step templates on a group of machines. This can be very handy to execute script based step templates to test them before starting to use them in your projects as well as performing regular admin or operations functions. This should be familiar to people who have used the [script console](/docs/administration/managing-infrastructure/performance/enable-web-request-logging) in the past. | ||

Background
[SF-3967]
The Script console button has been moved from the global Tasks page to the space-level Tasks page (Deploy ➜ Tasks) in Octopus Server 2027.0, because the Script Console runs scripts within a space. The Script Console docs still described it as being "under the Tasks area" and showed a screenshot of the old location.
Results
The Script Console page now explains that the button is only on a space's Tasks page, not the global one, and tells readers how to get there. The screenshot has been replaced with one of the space-level Tasks page, and a version note records the move for readers on versions before 2027.0. Separately, the "script console" link on the custom step templates page, which pointed at the web request logging page, now points at the Script Console page.
