The file:///home/chronos/user/log/chrome log is becoming awfully large, awfully fast: I see 180K lines with "console.assert", source: devtools://devtools/bundled/devtools-frontend/front_end/panels/console/console.js

Hello,
I have a relatively new Chromebook, in the stable channel, and recently it updated to 114.0.5735.119. A couple of days ago I uninstalled the Google Play store b/c I frequently experience connectivity problems, and the Chromebook's Diagnostic Connectivity Warnings and failures often mentioned the Android apps (for more details I wrote another discussion here: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-os-discuss/c/steT61qP6_E).
Now, the chrome.txt log is becoming awfully large, awfully fast. I am trying to figure out how to access the 5GB+ file that was generated yesterday:
The chrome.txt log, so far, has 180K lines that repeat:
2023-06-23T04:29:36.363093Z ERROR chrome[1399:1399]: [CONSOLE(6)] "console.assert", source: devtools://devtools/bundled/devtools-frontend/front_end/panels/console/console.js (6)
2023-06-23T04:29:36.363369Z ERROR chrome[1399:1399]: [CONSOLE(6)] "console.assert", source: devtools://devtools/bundled/devtools-frontend/front_end/panels/console/console.js (6)
2023-06-23T04:29:36.363456Z ERROR chrome[1399:1399]: [CONSOLE(6)] "console.assert", source: devtools://devtools/bundled/devtools-frontend/front_end/panels/console/console.js (6)
….
And the Chrome task manager shows the tab where I loaded this log is using a lot of memory:
Also, today, after I powered the Chromebook, I was immediately prompted to save the secure.txt log as soon as I opened Chrome. I record the screen during starting up, and here you can see the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgQnHJqB1M8
The content of the secure.txt file I was prompted to save is:
So my questions are:
What is the meaning of these lines: "console.assert", source: devtools://devtools/bundled/devtools-frontend/front_end/panels/console/console.js
I uninstalled the Google Play app a couple of days ago, why is the file:///var/log/secure still mentioning and opening sessions for the android user?
I.e.: 2023-06-23T03:21:07.487506Z NOTICE sudo[14563]: root : PWD=/ ; USER=chronos ; COMMAND=/bin/kill -9 -- -1
