+LogWisp implements powerful regex-based filtering:
+- **Include Filters**: Whitelist patterns - only matching logs pass
+- **Exclude Filters**: Blacklist patterns - matching logs are dropped
+- **Logic Options**: OR (match any) or AND (match all) for pattern combinations
+- **Filter Chains**: Multiple filters applied sequentially
+- **Performance**: Patterns compiled once at startup for efficiency

+2. **Exclude Filter**: Logs matching patterns are dropped (blacklist)

+### Pattern Logic
+- **OR Logic**: Log matches if ANY pattern matches
+- **AND Logic**: Log matches only if ALL patterns match

+- Multiple filters are applied sequentially
+- All filters must pass for a log to be streamed
+- Efficient short-circuit evaluation
