The short version

High-Throughput Processing — Regex-free manual string parser and hash-based dedup (using hash/maphash) for hot-path log processing at 5,000+ logs/sec
Zero-Touch Session Tracking — Automatically detects app restarts via ActivityManager and rotates sessions
Token Efficient — Pre-aggregates errors, folds repetitive consecutive logs, and uses Hierarchical Mapping to group identical messages under sub-headers
Surgical Querying — Filter logs by level, tag, and search terms with strict line limits to protect the context window
Tag Discovery — Quickly list all active tags in the current session
Contextual Windows — Fetch logs surrounding a specific event for precise debugging
