Where Lima keeps its logs

Lima logs to ~/.lima/<instance>/ha.stderr.log on macOS. 1 other macOS log location is recorded below.

Paths are printed exactly as Lima writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell.
