Summary Web Inspector: Erroneous "There are unread messages that have been filtered"

Created attachment 479207 [details] Screenshot of web inspector Steps to reproduce: 1) Open a new private window in Safari 26.4 or Safari Technology Preview 241 2) Open the web inspector console 3) Open https://sergiodemo.com/security/challenge/managed-challenge Despite the fact that the search filter field is empty, the "Clear Filters" button appears, along with the message "There are unread messages that have been filtered". When you press the Clear Filters button, no additional messages appear. See the attached screenshots. I've noticed this happen on pages with Cloudflare challenges. The bug happens regardless of the web inspector settings for "Preserve log" and "Allow page to clear Console".

Created attachment 479235 [details] Test case with console.groupCollapsed This issue occurs when encountering collapsed console group (`console.groupCollapsed()`). A git blame shows this has always been the case since the inception of Web Inspector, so it's a bug, not a regression.
