The Console can show the Response on the Network tab, if you select
this request.

But: 500 is the generic "something went wrong" message. If it was
generated by nginx, there should be something in the nginx error_log
about it.

If it was generated by Jenkins and passed through nginx, there should
be something in the Jenkins-equivalent.

Nothing stands out as being "clearly incorrect"; so checking the logs
(and maybe increasing the log level before trying again, if the message
was generated by nginx) is probably the most useful next step.

Good luck with it,
