Could you build this?
Yes This is a standard Kubernetes mutating admission webhook server that inspects incoming Pod specs, injects a logging sidecar or log-filtering daemon configuration using regex/NER libraries, and returns an admission patch.

Concerns raised: Manual sidecar injection to large clusters is complicated, Sidecar crashes when main container finishes, Permission denied errors with root containers and nonroot sidecars
