+### Developer Notes
+
+#### Pattern Validation
+
+New patterns are automatically validated for:
+
+- Basic regex syntax correctness
+- ReDoS attack patterns
+- Security vulnerabilities
+
+#### Error Handling
+
+The library now uses proper exception handling instead of error suppression:
+
+```php
+// Old (deprecated)
+$result = @preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $input);
+
+// New (secure)
+try {
+    $result = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $input);
+    if ($result === null) {
+        // Handle error properly
+    }
+} catch (\Error $e) {
+    // Handle regex compilation errors
+}
+```
+
+#### Type Safety
+
+Enhanced type declarations provide better IDE support and error detection:
+
+```php
+// Improved type annotations
+/**
+ * @param array<string, string> $patterns
+ * @param array<string, FieldMaskConfig|string> $fieldPaths
+ */
+```

+
+## Architecture
+
+This is a Monolog processor library for GDPR compliance that masks sensitive data in logs.
+
+### Core Components
+
+1. **GdprProcessor** (`src/GdprProcessor.php`): The main processor implementing Monolog's `ProcessorInterface`
+   - Processes log records to mask/remove/replace sensitive data
+   - Supports regex patterns, field paths (dot notation), and custom callbacks
+   - Provides static factory methods for common field configurations
+   - Includes default GDPR patterns (SSN, credit cards, emails, etc.)
+
+2. **FieldMaskConfig** (`src/FieldMaskConfig.php`): Configuration value object with three types:
+   - `MASK_REGEX`: Apply regex patterns to field value
+   - `REMOVE`: Remove field entirely from context
+   - `REPLACE`: Replace with static value
+
+### Key Design Patterns
+
+- **Processor Pattern**: Implements Monolog's ProcessorInterface for log record transformation
+- **Value Objects**: FieldMaskConfig is immutable configuration
+- **Factory Methods**: Static methods for creating common configurations
+- **Dot Notation**: Uses `adbario/php-dot-notation` for nested array access (e.g., "user.email")
+
+### Laravel Integration
+
+The library can be integrated with Laravel in two ways:
+
+1. Service Provider registration
+2. Using a Tap class to modify logging channels
+
+## Code Standards
+
+- **PHP 8.4+** with strict types
+- **PSR-12** coding standard (enforced by PHP_CodeSniffer)
+- **Psalm Level 5** static analysis with conservative configuration
+- **PHPStan Level 6** for additional code quality insights
+- **Rector** for safe automated code improvements
+- **EditorConfig**: 4 spaces, LF line endings, UTF-8, trim trailing whitespace
+- **PHPUnit 11** for testing with strict configuration
+
+### Static Analysis & Linting Policy
+
+**All issues reported by static analysis tools MUST be fixed.** The project uses a comprehensive static analysis setup:
+
+- **Psalm**: Conservative Level 5 with targeted suppressions for valid patterns
+- **PHPStan**: Level 6 analysis with Laravel compatibility
+- **Rector**: Safe automated improvements (return types, string casting, etc.)
+- **PHPCS**: PSR-12 compliance enforcement
+- **SonarQube**: Cloud-based code quality and security analysis (quality gate must pass)
+
+**Issue Resolution Priority:**
+
+1. **Fix the underlying issue** (preferred approach)
+2. **Refactor code** to avoid the issue pattern
+3. **Use safe automated fixes** via `composer lint:fix`
+4. **Ask before suppressing** - Suppression should be used only as an absolute last resort and requires
+   explicit discussion
+
+**Zero-Tolerance Policy:**
+
+- **ALL issues must be addressed** - this includes ERROR, WARNING, and INFO level issues
+- **INFO-level issues are NOT acceptable** - they indicate potential problems that should be resolved
+- **Never ignore or suppress issues** without explicit approval and documented justification
+- **Psalm INFO messages** should be addressed by:
+  - Refactoring code to avoid the pattern
+  - Adding proper type hints and assertions
+  - Using `@psalm-suppress` ONLY when absolutely necessary and with clear comments explaining why
+- **Exit code must be 0** - any non-zero exit from linting tools is a failure
+
+**Tip:** Use `git stash` before running `composer lint:fix` to easily revert changes if needed.
+
+### SonarQube-Specific Guidelines
+
+SonarQube is a **static analysis tool** that analyzes code structure,
+not runtime behavior. Unlike human reviewers, it does NOT understand:
+
+- PHPUnit's `expectException()` mechanism
+- Test intent or context
+- Comments explaining why code is written a certain way
+
+**Common SonarQube issues and their fixes:**
+
+1. **S1848: Useless object instantiation**
+   - **Issue**: `new ClassName()` in tests that expect exceptions
+   - **Why it occurs**: SonarQube doesn't understand `expectException()` means the object creation is the test
+   - **Fix**: Assign to variable and add assertion: `$obj = new ClassName(); $this->assertInstanceOf(...)`
+
+2. **S4833: Replace require_once with use statement**
+   - **Issue**: Direct file inclusion instead of autoloading
+   - **Fix**: Use composer's autoloader and proper `use` statements
+
+3. **S1172: Remove unused function parameter**
+   - **Issue**: Callback parameters that aren't used in the function body
+   - **Fix**: Remove unused parameters from function signature
+
+4. **S112: Define dedicated exception instead of generic one**
+   - **Issue**: Throwing `\RuntimeException` or `\Exception` directly
+   - **Fix**: Use project-specific exceptions like `RuleExecutionException`, `MaskingOperationFailedException`
+
+5. **S1192: Define constant instead of duplicating literal**
+   - **Issue**: String/number literals repeated 3+ times
+   - **Fix**: Add to `TestConstants` or `MaskConstants` and use the constant reference
+
+6. **S1481: Remove unused local variable**
+   - **Issue**: Variable assigned but never read
+   - **Fix**: Remove assignment or use the variable
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Comments and docblocks do NOT fix SonarQube issues. The code structure itself must be changed.
+
+## Code Quality
+
+### Constant Usage
+
+To reduce code duplication and improve maintainability
+(as required by SonarQube), the project uses centralized constants:
+
+- **MaskConstants** (`src/MaskConstants.php`): Mask replacement values (e.g., `MASK_MASKED`, `MASK_REDACTED`)
+- **TestConstants** (`tests/TestConstants.php`): Test data values, patterns, field paths, messages
+
+**Always use constants instead of hardcoded strings** for values defined in these files.
+Use the constant checker to identify hardcoded values:
+
+```bash
+# Scan for hardcoded constant values
+php check_for_constants.php
+
+# Show line context for each match
+php check_for_constants.php --verbose
+```
+
+The checker intelligently scans all PHP files and reports where constant references should be used:
+
+- **MaskConstants** checked in both `src/` and `tests/` directories
+- **TestConstants** checked only in `tests/` directory (not enforced in production code)
+- Filters out common false positives like array keys and internal identifiers
+- Helps maintain SonarQube code quality standards
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- **Always run `composer lint:fix` before manual fixes**
+- **Fix all linting issues** - suppression requires explicit approval
+- **Use constants instead of hardcoded values** - run `php check_for_constants.php` to verify
+- The library focuses on GDPR compliance - be careful when modifying masking logic
+- Default patterns include Finnish SSN, US SSN, IBAN, credit cards, emails, phones, and IPs
+- Audit logging feature can track when sensitive data was masked for compliance
+- All static analysis tools are configured to work harmoniously without conflicts

+// Pattern comment explaining what it matches
+'/your-regex-pattern/' => '***MASKED_TYPE***',
+```
+
+### Pattern Testing
+
+```php
+public function testNewPattern(): void
+{
+    $patterns = GdprProcessor::getDefaultPatterns();
+    $processor = new GdprProcessor($patterns);
+
+    // Test positive case
+    $result = $processor->regExpMessage('sensitive-data-123');
+    $this->assertSame('***MASKED_TYPE***', $result);
+
+    // Test negative case (should not match)
+    $result = $processor->regExpMessage('normal-data');
+    $this->assertSame('normal-data', $result);
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern Validation
+
+Before submitting, validate your pattern:
+
+```php
+// Test pattern safety
+GdprProcessor::validatePatterns([
+    '/your-pattern/' => '***TEST***'
+]);
+
+// Test ReDoS resistance
+$processor = new GdprProcessor(['/your-pattern/' => '***TEST***']);
+$result = $processor->regExpMessage('very-long-string-to-test-performance');
+```

 ## Installation
 
-Install via Composer:
-
 ```bash
 composer require ivuorinen/monolog-gdpr-filter
 ```
 
-## Usage
-
-### Basic Monolog Setup
+## Quick Start
 
 ```php
 use Monolog\Logger;
 use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;
+use Monolog\Level;
 use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
 use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\FieldMaskConfig;
 
-$patterns = GdprProcessor::getDefaultPatterns();
-$fieldPaths = [
-    'user.ssn' => GdprProcessor::removeField(),
-    'payment.card' => GdprProcessor::replaceWith('[CC]'),
-    'contact.email' => GdprProcessor::maskWithRegex(),
-    'metadata.session' => GdprProcessor::replaceWith('[SESSION]'),
-];
-
-// Optional: custom callback for advanced masking
-$customCallbacks = [
-    'user.name' => fn($value) => strtoupper($value),
-];
-
-// Optional: audit logger for compliance
-$auditLogger = function($path, $original, $masked) {
-    error_log("GDPR mask: $path: $original => $masked");
-};
-
-$logger = new Logger('app');
-$logger->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('path/to/your.log', Logger::WARNING));
-$logger->pushProcessor(
-    new GdprProcessor($patterns, $fieldPaths, $customCallbacks, $auditLogger)
+// Create processor with default GDPR patterns
+$processor = new GdprProcessor(
+    patterns: GdprProcessor::getDefaultPatterns(),
+    fieldPaths: [
+        'user.email' => FieldMaskConfig::remove(),
+        'user.ssn' => FieldMaskConfig::replace('[REDACTED]'),
+    ]
 );
 
-$logger->warning('This is a warning message.', [
-    'user' => ['ssn' => '123456-900T'],
-    'contact' => ['email' => 'user@example.com'],
-    'payment' => ['card' => '1234567812345678'],
+// Integrate with Monolog
+$logger = new Logger('app');
+$logger->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('app.log', Level::Warning));
+$logger->pushProcessor($processor);
+
+// Sensitive data is automatically masked
+$logger->warning('User login', [
+    'user' => [
+        'email' => 'john@example.com',  // Will be removed
+        'ssn' => '123-45-6789',         // Will be replaced with [REDACTED]
+    ]
 ]);
 ```
 
-### FieldMaskConfig Options
+## Core Concepts
 
-- `GdprProcessor::maskWithRegex()` — Mask field value using regex patterns
-- `GdprProcessor::removeField()` — Remove field from context
-- `GdprProcessor::replaceWith($value)` — Replace field value with static value
+### Regex Patterns
 
-### Custom Callbacks
-
-Provide custom callbacks for specific fields:
+Define regex patterns to mask sensitive data in log messages and context values:
 
 ```php
-$customCallbacks = [
-    'user.name' => fn($value) => strtoupper($value),
+$patterns = [
+    '/\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z|a-z]{2,}\b/' => '***EMAIL***',
+    '/\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b/' => '***SSN***',
+    '/\b\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}\b/' => '***CARD***',
+];
+
+$processor = new GdprProcessor(patterns: $patterns);
+```
+
+Use `GdprProcessor::getDefaultPatterns()` for a comprehensive set of pre-configured patterns
+covering SSNs, credit cards, emails, phone numbers, IBANs, IP addresses, and more.
+
+### Field Path Masking (FieldMaskConfig)
+
+Configure masking for specific fields using dot-notation paths:
+
+```php
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\FieldMaskConfig;
+
+$fieldPaths = [
+    // Remove field entirely from logs
+    'user.password' => FieldMaskConfig::remove(),
+
+    // Replace with static value
+    'payment.card_number' => FieldMaskConfig::replace('[CARD]'),
+
+    // Apply processor's regex patterns to this field
+    'user.bio' => FieldMaskConfig::useProcessorPatterns(),
+
+    // Apply custom regex pattern
+    'user.phone' => FieldMaskConfig::regexMask('/\d{3}-\d{4}/', '***-****'),
 ];
 ```
 
-### Audit Logger
+### Custom Callbacks
 
-Optionally provide an audit logger callback to record masking actions:
+Provide custom masking functions for complex scenarios:
 
 ```php
-$auditLogger = function($path, $original, $masked) {
-    // Log or store audit info
-};
+$customCallbacks = [
+    'user.name' => fn($value) => strtoupper(substr($value, 0, 1)) . '***',
+    'user.id' => fn($value) => hash('sha256', (string) $value),
+];
+
+$processor = new GdprProcessor(
+    patterns: [],
+    fieldPaths: [],
+    customCallbacks: $customCallbacks
+);
 ```
 
-> **IMPORTANT**: Be mindful what you send to your audit log. Passing the original value might defeat the whole purpose
-> of this project.
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Direct GdprProcessor Usage
+
+```php
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\FieldMaskConfig;
+
+$processor = new GdprProcessor(
+    patterns: GdprProcessor::getDefaultPatterns(),
+    fieldPaths: [
+        'user.ssn' => FieldMaskConfig::remove(),
+        'payment.card' => FieldMaskConfig::replace('[REDACTED]'),
+        'contact.email' => FieldMaskConfig::useProcessorPatterns(),
+    ],
+    customCallbacks: [
+        'user.name' => fn($v) => strtoupper($v),
+    ],
+    auditLogger: function($path, $original, $masked) {
+        // Log masking operations for compliance
+        error_log("Masked: $path");
+    },
+    maxDepth: 100,
+);
+```
+
+### Using GdprProcessorBuilder (Recommended)
+
+The builder provides a fluent, readable API:
+
+```php
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Builder\GdprProcessorBuilder;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\FieldMaskConfig;
+
+$processor = GdprProcessorBuilder::create()
+    ->withDefaultPatterns()
+    ->addPattern('/custom-secret-\w+/', '[SECRET]')
+    ->addFieldPath('user.email', FieldMaskConfig::remove())
+    ->addFieldPath('user.ssn', FieldMaskConfig::replace('[SSN]'))
+    ->addCallback('user.id', fn($v) => hash('sha256', (string) $v))
+    ->withMaxDepth(50)
+    ->withAuditLogger(function($path, $original, $masked) {
+        // Audit logging
+    })
+    ->build();
+```
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Conditional Masking
+
+Apply masking only when specific conditions are met:
+
+```php
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\ConditionalRuleFactory;
+use Monolog\Level;
+
+$processor = new GdprProcessor(
+    patterns: GdprProcessor::getDefaultPatterns(),
+    conditionalRules: [
+        // Only mask error-level logs
+        'error_only' => ConditionalRuleFactory::createLevelBasedRule([Level::Error]),
+
+        // Only mask specific channels
+        'app_channel' => ConditionalRuleFactory::createChannelBasedRule(['app', 'security']),
+
+        // Custom condition
+        'has_user' => fn($record) => isset($record->context['user']),
+    ]
+);
+```
+
+### Data Type Masking
+
+Mask values based on their PHP type:
+
+```php
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\MaskConstants;
+
+$processor = new GdprProcessor(
+    patterns: [],
+    dataTypeMasks: [
+        'integer' => MaskConstants::MASK_INT,
+        'double' => MaskConstants::MASK_FLOAT,
+        'boolean' => MaskConstants::MASK_BOOL,
+    ]
+);
+```
+
+### Rate-Limited Audit Logging
+
+Prevent audit log flooding in high-volume applications:
+
+```php
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\RateLimitedAuditLogger;
+
+$baseLogger = function($path, $original, $masked) {
+    // Your audit logging logic
+};
+
+// Create rate-limited wrapper (100 logs per minute)
+$rateLimitedLogger = new RateLimitedAuditLogger($baseLogger, 100, 60);
+
+$processor = new GdprProcessor(
+    patterns: GdprProcessor::getDefaultPatterns(),
+    auditLogger: $rateLimitedLogger
+);
+
+// Available rate limit profiles via factory
+$strictLogger = RateLimitedAuditLogger::create($baseLogger, 'strict');   // 50/min
+$defaultLogger = RateLimitedAuditLogger::create($baseLogger, 'default'); // 100/min
+$relaxedLogger = RateLimitedAuditLogger::create($baseLogger, 'relaxed'); // 200/min
+```
+
+### Streaming Large Files
+
+Process large log files with memory-efficient streaming:
+
+```php
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Streaming\StreamingProcessor;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\MaskingOrchestrator;
+
+$orchestrator = new MaskingOrchestrator(GdprProcessor::getDefaultPatterns());
+$streaming = new StreamingProcessor($orchestrator, chunkSize: 1000);
+
+// Process file line by line
+$lineParser = fn(string $line) => ['message' => $line, 'context' => []];
+
+foreach ($streaming->processFile('large-app.log', $lineParser) as $maskedRecord) {
+    // Write to output file or process further
+    fwrite($output, $maskedRecord['message'] . "\n");
+}
+
+// Or process to file directly
+$formatter = fn(array $record) => json_encode($record);
+$count = $streaming->processToFile($records, 'masked-output.log', $formatter);
+```
 
 ## Laravel Integration
 
-You can integrate the GDPR processor with Laravel logging in two ways:
-
-### 1. Service Provider
+### Service Provider
 
 ```php
 // app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php
+namespace App\Providers;
+
 use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
 use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\FieldMaskConfig;
 
 class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
 {
-    public function boot()
+    public function boot(): void
     {
-        $patterns = GdprProcessor::getDefaultPatterns();
-        $fieldPaths = [
-            'user.ssn' => '[GDPR]',
-            'payment.card' => '[CC]',
-            'contact.email' => '', // empty string = regex mask
-            'metadata.session' => '[SESSION]',
-        ];
-        $this->app['log']->getLogger()
-            ->pushProcessor(new GdprProcessor($patterns, $fieldPaths));
+        $processor = new GdprProcessor(
+            patterns: GdprProcessor::getDefaultPatterns(),
+            fieldPaths: [
+                'user.email' => FieldMaskConfig::remove(),
+                'user.password' => FieldMaskConfig::remove(),
+            ]
+        );
+
+        $this->app['log']->getLogger()->pushProcessor($processor);
     }
 }
 ```

-## Configuration
+### Console Commands
 
-You can configure the processor to filter out sensitive data by specifying:
-
-- **Regex patterns:** Used for masking values in messages and context
-- **Field paths:** Dot-notation paths for masking/removal/replacement
-- **Custom callbacks:** For advanced per-field masking
-- **Audit logger:** For compliance tracking
-
-## Testing & Quality
-
-This project uses PHPUnit for testing, Psalm and PHPStan for static analysis, and PHP_CodeSniffer for code style checks.
-
-### Running Tests
-
-To run the test suite:
+The library provides Artisan commands for testing and debugging:
 
 ```bash
+# Test a pattern against sample data
+php artisan gdpr:test-pattern '/\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b/' 'SSN: 123-45-6789'
+
+# Debug current GDPR configuration
+php artisan gdpr:debug
+```
+
+## Plugin System
+
+Extend the processor with custom pre/post-processing hooks:
+
+```php
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Contracts\MaskingPluginInterface;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Builder\GdprProcessorBuilder;
+
+class CustomPlugin implements MaskingPluginInterface
+{
+    public function getName(): string
+    {
+        return 'custom-plugin';
+    }
+
+    public function getPriority(): int
+    {
+        return 10; // Lower = earlier execution
+    }
+
+    public function preProcessMessage(string $message): string
+    {
+        // Modify message before masking
+        return $message;
+    }
+
+    public function postProcessMessage(string $message): string
+    {
+        // Modify message after masking
+        return $message;
+    }
+
+    public function preProcessContext(array $context): array
+    {
+        return $context;
+    }
+
+    public function postProcessContext(array $context): array
+    {
+        return $context;
+    }
+}
+
+$processor = GdprProcessorBuilder::create()
+    ->withDefaultPatterns()
+    ->addPlugin(new CustomPlugin())
+    ->buildWithPlugins();
+```
+
+## Default Patterns Reference
+
+`GdprProcessor::getDefaultPatterns()` includes patterns for:
+
+| Category | Data Types |
+| -------- | ---------- |
+| Personal IDs | Finnish SSN (HETU), US SSN, Passport numbers, National IDs |
+| Financial | Credit cards, IBAN, Bank account numbers |
+| Contact | Email addresses, Phone numbers (E.164) |
+| Technical | IPv4/IPv6 addresses, MAC addresses, API keys, Bearer tokens |
+| Health | Medicare numbers, European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) |
+| Dates | Birth dates in multiple formats |
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Pattern Optimization
+
+Order patterns from most specific to most general:
+
+```php
+// Recommended: specific patterns first
+$patterns = [
+    '/\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b/' => '***SSN***',     // Specific format
+    '/\b\d+\b/' => '***NUMBER***',                // Generic fallback
+];
+```
+
+### Memory-Efficient Processing
+
+For large datasets:
+
+- Use `StreamingProcessor` for file-based processing
+- Configure appropriate `maxDepth` to limit recursion
+- Use rate-limited audit logging to prevent memory growth
+
+### Pattern Caching
+
+Patterns are validated and cached internally.
+For high-throughput applications, the library automatically caches compiled patterns.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Pattern Not Matching
+
+```php
+// Test pattern in isolation
+$pattern = '/your-pattern/';
+if (preg_match($pattern, $testString)) {
+    echo 'Pattern matches';
+}
+
+// Validate pattern safety
+try {
+    GdprProcessor::validatePatternsArray([
+        '/your-pattern/' => '***MASKED***'
+    ]);
+} catch (PatternValidationException $e) {
+    echo 'Invalid pattern: ' . $e->getMessage();
+}
+```
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+- Reduce pattern count to essential patterns only
+- Use field-specific masking instead of broad regex patterns
+- Profile with audit logging to identify slow operations
+
+### Audit Logger Issues
+
+```php
+// Safe audit logging (never log original sensitive data)
+$auditLogger = function($path, $original, $masked) {
+    error_log(sprintf(
+        'GDPR Audit: %s - type=%s, masked=%s',
+        $path,
+        gettype($original),
+        $original !== $masked ? 'yes' : 'no'
+    ));
+};
+```
+
+## Testing and Quality
+
+```bash
+# Run tests
 composer test
-```
 
-To generate a code coverage report (HTML output in the `coverage/` directory):
-
-```bash
+# Run tests with coverage report
 composer test:coverage
-```
 
-### Linting & Static Analysis
-
-To run all linters and static analysis:
-
-```bash
+# Run all linters
 composer lint
-```
 
-To automatically fix code style and static analysis issues:
-
-```bash
+# Auto-fix code style issues
 composer lint:fix
 ```
 
-## Notable Implementation Details
+## Security
 
-- If a regex replacement in `regExpMessage` results in an empty string or the string "0", the original message is
-  returned. This is covered by dedicated PHPUnit tests.
-- If a regex pattern is invalid, the audit logger (if set) is called, and the original message is returned.
+- All patterns are validated for safety before use to prevent regex injection attacks
+- The library includes ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) protection
+- Dangerous patterns with recursive structures or excessive backtracking are rejected

+## Security Best Practices
+
+### For Users of This Library
+
+#### ✅ Pattern Validation
+
+Always validate custom patterns before use:
+
+```php
+// Good: Validate custom patterns
+try {
+    GdprProcessor::validatePatterns([
+        '/your-custom-pattern/' => '***MASKED***'
+    ]);
+    $processor = new GdprProcessor($patterns);
+} catch (InvalidArgumentException $e) {
+    // Handle invalid pattern
+}
+```
+
+#### ✅ Secure Audit Logging
+
+Be careful with audit logger implementation:
+
+```php
+// Good: Secure audit logger
+$auditLogger = function (string $path, mixed $original, mixed $masked): void {
+    // DON'T log the original sensitive data
+    error_log("GDPR: Masked field '{$path}' - type: " . gettype($original));
+};
+
+// Bad: Insecure audit logger
+$auditLogger = function (string $path, mixed $original, mixed $masked): void {
+    // NEVER do this - logs sensitive data!
+    error_log("GDPR: {$path} changed from {$original} to {$masked}");
+};
+```
+
+#### ✅ Input Validation
+
+Validate input when using custom callbacks:
+
+```php
+// Good: Validate callback input
+$customCallback = function (mixed $value): string {
+    if (!is_string($value)) {
+        return '***INVALID***';
+    }
+
+    // Additional validation
+    if (strlen($value) > 1000) {
+        return '***TOOLONG***';
+    }
+
+    return preg_replace('/sensitive/', '***MASKED***', $value) ?? '***ERROR***';
+};
+```
+
+#### ✅ Regular Updates
+
+- Keep the library updated to get security fixes
+- Monitor security advisories
+- Review changelogs for security-related changes
+
+### For Contributors
+
+#### 🔒 Secure Development Practices
+
+1. **Never commit sensitive data**:
+   - No real credentials, tokens, or personal data in tests
+   - Use placeholder data only
+   - Review diffs before committing
+
+2. **Validate all regex patterns**:
+
+   ```php
+   // Always test new patterns for security
+   if (!$this->isValidRegexPattern($pattern)) {
+       throw new InvalidArgumentException('Invalid pattern');
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Use proper error handling**:
+
+   ```php
+   // Good
+   try {
+       $result = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $input);
+   } catch (\Error $e) {
+       // Handle error
+   }
+
+   // Bad
+   $result = @preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $input);
+   ```
+
+## Known Security Considerations
+
+### ⚠️ Performance Considerations
+
+- Complex regex patterns may cause performance issues
+- Large input strings should be validated for reasonable size
+- Consider implementing timeouts for regex operations
+
+### ⚠️ Pattern Conflicts
+
+- Multiple patterns may interact unexpectedly
+- Pattern order matters for security
+- Test all patterns together, not just individually
+
+### ⚠️ Audit Logging
+
+- Audit loggers can inadvertently log sensitive data
+- Implement audit loggers carefully
+- Consider what data is actually needed for compliance

+
+## Running Tests
+
+### All Tests
+
+```bash
+docker compose exec php composer test
+```
+
+### With Coverage Report
+
+```bash
+docker compose exec php composer test:coverage
+```
+
+### Specific Test File
+
+```bash
+docker compose exec php ./vendor/bin/phpunit tests/GdprProcessorTest.php
+```
+
+### Specific Test Method
+
+```bash
+docker compose exec php ./vendor/bin/phpunit --filter testEmailMasking
+```
+
+## Running Linting Tools
+
+### All Linting
+
+```bash
+docker compose exec php composer lint
+```
+
+### Individual Tools
+
+```bash
+# PHP CodeSniffer
+docker compose exec php ./vendor/bin/phpcs
+
+# Auto-fix with PHPCBF
+docker compose exec php ./vendor/bin/phpcbf
+
+# Psalm
+docker compose exec php ./vendor/bin/psalm
+
+# PHPStan
+docker compose exec php ./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse
+
+# Rector (dry-run)
+docker compose exec php ./vendor/bin/rector --dry-run
+```
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Initial Setup
+
+```bash
+# Build containers
+docker compose build
+
+# Start services
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Install dependencies
+docker compose exec php composer install
+
+# Run initial checks
+docker compose exec php composer lint
+docker compose exec php composer test
+```
+
+### Daily Development
+
+```bash
+# Start environment
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Make changes...
+
+# Run tests
+docker compose exec php composer test
+
+# Run linting
+docker compose exec php composer lint
+
+# Auto-fix issues
+docker compose exec php composer lint:fix
+```
+
+### Testing Multiple PHP Versions
+
+```bash
+# Test with PHP 8.3
+docker compose --profile testing run php83 php -v
+docker compose --profile testing run php83 ./vendor/bin/phpunit
+```
+
+## Debugging
+
+### Enable Xdebug
+
+The Docker configuration includes Xdebug. Configure your IDE to listen on port 9003.
+
+For VS Code, add to `.vscode/launch.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+    "version": "0.2.0",
+    "configurations": [
+        {
+            "name": "Listen for Xdebug",
+            "type": "php",
+            "request": "launch",
+            "port": 9003,
+            "pathMappings": {
+                "/app": "${workspaceFolder}"
+            }
+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+### Interactive Shell
+
+```bash
+docker compose exec php sh
+```
+
+### View Logs
+
+```bash
+docker compose logs -f php
+```
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+### GitHub Actions Example
+
+```yaml
+name: Tests
+
+on: [push, pull_request]
+
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        php: ['8.4', '8.5']
+
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+      - name: Setup PHP
+        uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
+        with:
+          php-version: ${{ matrix.php }}
+          extensions: intl, zip
+          coverage: xdebug
+
+      - name: Install dependencies
+        run: composer install --prefer-dist --no-progress
+
+      - name: Run linting
+        run: composer lint
+
+      - name: Run tests
+        run: composer test:coverage
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Permission Issues
+
+If you encounter permission issues:
+
+```bash
+# Fix ownership
+docker compose exec -u root php chown -R developer:developer /app
+
+# Or run as root temporarily
+docker compose exec -u root php composer install
+```
+
+### Composer Memory Limit
+
+```bash
+docker compose exec php php -d memory_limit=-1 /usr/bin/composer install
+```
+
+### Clear Caches
+
+```bash
+# Clear composer cache
+docker compose exec php composer clear-cache
+
+# Clear Psalm cache
+docker compose exec php ./vendor/bin/psalm --clear-cache
+
+# Clear PHPStan cache
+docker compose exec php ./vendor/bin/phpstan clear-result-cache
+```

+
+### Elasticsearch with Monolog
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Monolog\Logger;
+use Monolog\Handler\ElasticsearchHandler;
+use Monolog\Formatter\ElasticsearchFormatter;
+use Elastic\Elasticsearch\ClientBuilder;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\DefaultPatterns;
+
+// Create Elasticsearch client
+$client = ClientBuilder::create()
+    ->setHosts(['localhost:9200'])
+    ->build();
+
+// Create handler
+$handler = new ElasticsearchHandler($client, [
+    'index' => 'app-logs',
+    'type' => '_doc',
+]);
+$handler->setFormatter(new ElasticsearchFormatter('app-logs', '_doc'));
+
+// Create logger with GDPR processor
+$logger = new Logger('app');
+$logger->pushHandler($handler);
+$logger->pushProcessor(new GdprProcessor(DefaultPatterns::all()));
+
+// Logs are now GDPR-compliant before reaching Elasticsearch
+$logger->info('User login', ['email' => 'user@example.com', 'ip' => '192.168.1.1']);
+```
+
+### Logstash Integration
+
+For Logstash, use the Gelf handler or send JSON to a TCP/UDP input:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Monolog\Logger;
+use Monolog\Handler\SocketHandler;
+use Monolog\Formatter\JsonFormatter;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\DefaultPatterns;
+
+$handler = new SocketHandler('tcp://logstash.example.com:5000');
+$handler->setFormatter(new JsonFormatter());
+
+$logger = new Logger('app');
+$logger->pushHandler($handler);
+$logger->pushProcessor(new GdprProcessor(DefaultPatterns::all()));
+```
+
+Logstash configuration:
+
+```ruby
+input {
+  tcp {
+    port => 5000
+    codec => json
+  }
+}
+
+output {
+  elasticsearch {
+    hosts => ["elasticsearch:9200"]
+    index => "app-logs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Graylog
+
+### GELF Handler Integration
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Monolog\Logger;
+use Monolog\Handler\GelfHandler;
+use Gelf\Publisher;
+use Gelf\Transport\UdpTransport;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\DefaultPatterns;
+
+// Create GELF transport
+$transport = new UdpTransport('graylog.example.com', 12201);
+$publisher = new Publisher($transport);
+
+// Create handler
+$handler = new GelfHandler($publisher);
+
+// Create logger with GDPR processor
+$logger = new Logger('app');
+$logger->pushHandler($handler);
+$logger->pushProcessor(new GdprProcessor(DefaultPatterns::all()));
+
+$logger->info('Payment processed', [
+    'user_email' => 'customer@example.com',
+    'card_last_four' => '4242',
+]);
+```
+
+### Graylog Stream Configuration
+
+Create a stream to filter GDPR-sensitive logs:
+
+1. Create an extractor to identify masked fields
+2. Set up alerts for potential data leaks (unmasked patterns)
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+// Add metadata to help Graylog categorize
+$logger->pushProcessor(function ($record) {
+    $record['extra']['gdpr_processed'] = true;
+    $record['extra']['app_version'] = '1.0.0';
+    return $record;
+});
+```
+
+## Datadog
+
+### Datadog Handler Integration
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Monolog\Logger;
+use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;
+use Monolog\Formatter\JsonFormatter;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\DefaultPatterns;
+
+// Datadog agent reads from file or stdout
+$handler = new StreamHandler('php://stdout');
+$handler->setFormatter(new JsonFormatter());
+
+$logger = new Logger('app');
+$logger->pushHandler($handler);
+$logger->pushProcessor(new GdprProcessor(DefaultPatterns::all()));
+
+// Add Datadog-specific context
+$logger->pushProcessor(function ($record) {
+    $record['extra']['dd'] = [
+        'service' => 'my-php-app',
+        'env' => getenv('DD_ENV') ?: 'production',
+        'version' => '1.0.0',
+    ];
+    return $record;
+});
+
+$logger->info('User action', ['user_id' => 123, 'email' => 'user@example.com']);
+```
+
+### Datadog APM Integration
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use DDTrace\GlobalTracer;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+
+// Add trace context to logs
+$logger->pushProcessor(function ($record) {
+    $tracer = GlobalTracer::get();
+    $span = $tracer->getActiveSpan();
+
+    if ($span) {
+        $record['extra']['dd.trace_id'] = $span->getTraceId();
+        $record['extra']['dd.span_id'] = $span->getSpanId();

+## Fluentd/Fluent Bit
+
+### Fluentd Integration
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Monolog\Logger;
+use Monolog\Handler\SocketHandler;
+use Monolog\Formatter\JsonFormatter;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\DefaultPatterns;
+
+// Send to Fluentd forward input
+$handler = new SocketHandler('tcp://fluentd:24224');
+$handler->setFormatter(new JsonFormatter());
+
+$logger = new Logger('app');
+$logger->pushHandler($handler);
+$logger->pushProcessor(new GdprProcessor(DefaultPatterns::all()));
+
+// Add Fluentd tag
+$logger->pushProcessor(function ($record) {
+    $record['extra']['fluent_tag'] = 'app.logs';
+    return $record;
+});
+```
+
+Fluentd configuration:
+
+```ruby
+<source>
+  @type forward
+  port 24224
+</source>
+
+<match app.**>
+  @type elasticsearch
+  host elasticsearch
+  port 9200
+  index_name app-logs
+</match>
+```
+
+### Fluent Bit with File Tail
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Monolog\Logger;
+use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;
+use Monolog\Formatter\JsonFormatter;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\DefaultPatterns;
+
+// Write JSON logs to file for Fluent Bit to tail
+$handler = new StreamHandler('/var/log/app/app.json.log');
+$handler->setFormatter(new JsonFormatter());
+
+$logger = new Logger('app');
+$logger->pushHandler($handler);
+$logger->pushProcessor(new GdprProcessor(DefaultPatterns::all()));
+```
+
+Fluent Bit configuration:
+
+```ini
+[INPUT]
+    Name tail
+    Path /var/log/app/*.json.log
+    Parser json
+
+[OUTPUT]
+    Name es
+    Host elasticsearch
+    Port 9200
+    Index app-logs
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Always Process Before Sending
+
+Ensure the GDPR processor runs before logs leave your application:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+// Correct order: GDPR processor added AFTER handlers
+$logger = new Logger('app');
+$logger->pushHandler($externalHandler);
+$logger->pushProcessor(new GdprProcessor($patterns));  // Runs before handlers
+```
+
+### 2. Add Compliance Metadata
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+$logger->pushProcessor(function ($record) {
+    $record['extra']['gdpr'] = [
+        'processed' => true,
+        'processor_version' => '3.0.0',
+        'timestamp' => date('c'),
+    ];
+    return $record;
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Monitor for Leaks
+
+Set up alerts in your logging platform for unmasked PII patterns:
+
+```json
+{
+  "query": {
+    "regexp": {
+      "message": "[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Retention Policies
+
+Configure retention aligned with GDPR requirements:
+
+- Most platforms support automatic log deletion
+- Set retention to 30 days for most operational logs
+- Archive critical audit logs separately with longer retention

+
+## Benchmarking Your Setup
+
+Before optimizing, establish baseline metrics:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\DefaultPatterns;
+
+$processor = new GdprProcessor(DefaultPatterns::all());
+
+$record = [
+    'message' => 'User john@example.com logged in from 192.168.1.100',
+    'context' => [
+        'user' => ['email' => 'john@example.com', 'ssn' => '123-45-6789'],
+        'ip' => '192.168.1.100',
+    ],
+    'level' => 200,
+    'level_name' => 'INFO',
+    'channel' => 'app',
+    'datetime' => new DateTimeImmutable(),
+    'extra' => [],
+];
+
+// Benchmark
+$iterations = 10000;
+$start = microtime(true);
+
+for ($i = 0; $i < $iterations; $i++) {
+    $processor($record);
+}
+
+$elapsed = microtime(true) - $start;
+$perSecond = $iterations / $elapsed;
+
+echo "Processed {$iterations} records in {$elapsed:.4f} seconds\n";
+echo "Throughput: {$perSecond:.0f} records/second\n";
+```
+
+**Target benchmarks:**
+
+- Simple patterns: 50,000+ records/second
+- Complex patterns with nested context: 10,000+ records/second
+- With audit logging: 5,000+ records/second
+
+## Pattern Optimization
+
+### 1. Order Patterns by Frequency
+
+Place most frequently matched patterns first:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\MaskConstants;
+
+// Good: Email (common) before SSN (rare)
+$patterns = [
+    '/[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}/' => MaskConstants::MASK_EMAIL,
+    '/\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b/' => MaskConstants::MASK_SSN,
+];
+
+$processor = new GdprProcessor($patterns);
+```
+
+### 2. Use Specific Patterns Over Generic
+
+Specific patterns are faster than broad ones:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+// Slow: Generic catch-all
+$slowPattern = '/\b\d{3}[-.\s]?\d{3}[-.\s]?\d{4}\b/';
+
+// Fast: Specific format
+$fastPattern = '/\b\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}\b/';
+```
+
+### 3. Avoid Catastrophic Backtracking
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+// Bad: Potential backtracking issues
+$badPattern = '/.*@.*\..*/';
+
+// Good: Bounded repetition
+$goodPattern = '/[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}/';
+```
+
+### 4. Use Non-Capturing Groups
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+// Slower: Capturing groups
+$slowPattern = '/(foo|bar|baz)/';
+
+// Faster: Non-capturing groups
+$fastPattern = '/(?:foo|bar|baz)/';
+```
+
+### 5. Pre-validate Patterns
+
+Use the PatternValidator to cache validation results:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\PatternValidator;
+
+$validator = new PatternValidator();
+
+// Cache all patterns at startup
+$validator->cacheAllPatterns($patterns);
+```
+
+## Memory Management
+
+### 1. Limit Recursion Depth
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+
+// Default is 10, reduce for memory-constrained environments
+$processor = new GdprProcessor(
+    patterns: $patterns,
+    maxDepth: 5  // Limit nested array processing
+);
+```
+
+### 2. Use Streaming for Large Logs
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Streaming\StreamingProcessor;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\MaskingOrchestrator;
+
+$orchestrator = new MaskingOrchestrator($patterns);
+$streaming = new StreamingProcessor(
+    orchestrator: $orchestrator,
+    chunkSize: 500  // Process 500 records at a time
+);
+
+// Process large file with constant memory usage
+$lineParser = fn(string $line): array => [
+    'message' => $line,
+    'context' => [],
+];
+
+foreach ($streaming->processFile('/var/log/large.log', $lineParser) as $record) {
+    // Handle processed record
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Disable Audit Logging in High-Volume Scenarios
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+
+// No audit logger = less memory allocation
+$processor = new GdprProcessor(
+    patterns: $patterns,
+    auditLogger: null
+);
+```
+
+## Caching Strategies
+
+### 1. Pattern Compilation Caching
+
+Patterns are compiled once and cached internally. Ensure you reuse processor instances:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+// Good: Singleton pattern
+class ProcessorFactory
+{
+    private static ?GdprProcessor $instance = null;
+
+    public static function getInstance(): GdprProcessor
+    {
+        if (self::$instance === null) {
+            self::$instance = new GdprProcessor(DefaultPatterns::all());
+        }
+        return self::$instance;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Result Caching for Repeated Values
+
+For applications processing similar data repeatedly:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+class CachedGdprProcessor
+{
+    private GdprProcessor $processor;
+    private array $cache = [];
+    private int $maxCacheSize = 1000;
+
+    public function __construct(GdprProcessor $processor)
+    {
+        $this->processor = $processor;
+    }
+
+    public function process(array $record): array
+    {
+        $key = md5(serialize($record['message'] . json_encode($record['context'])));
+
+        if (isset($this->cache[$key])) {
+            return $this->cache[$key];
+        }
+
+        $result = ($this->processor)($record);
+
+        if (count($this->cache) >= $this->maxCacheSize) {
+            array_shift($this->cache);
+        }
+
+        $this->cache[$key] = $result;
+        return $result;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Rate Limiting
+
+### 1. Rate-Limited Audit Logging
+
+Prevent audit log flooding:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\RateLimitedAuditLogger;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\RateLimiter;
+
+$rateLimiter = new RateLimiter(
+    maxEvents: 100,      // Max 100 events
+    windowSeconds: 60,   // Per 60 seconds
+    burstLimit: 20       // Allow burst of 20
+);
+
+$auditLogger = new RateLimitedAuditLogger(
+    baseLogger: fn($path, $original, $masked) => error_log("Masked: $path"),
+    rateLimiter: $rateLimiter
+);
+```
+
+### 2. Sampling for High-Volume Logging
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+class SampledProcessor
+{
+    private GdprProcessor $processor;
+    private float $sampleRate;
+
+    public function __construct(GdprProcessor $processor, float $sampleRate = 0.1)
+    {
+        $this->processor = $processor;
+        $this->sampleRate = $sampleRate;
+    }
+
+    public function __invoke(array $record): array
+    {
+        // Only process sample of records for audit
+        $shouldAudit = (mt_rand() / mt_getrandmax()) < $this->sampleRate;
+
+        if (!$shouldAudit) {
+            // Process without audit logging
+            return $this->processWithoutAudit($record);
+        }
+
+        return ($this->processor)($record);
+    }
+
+    private function processWithoutAudit(array $record): array
+    {
+        // Implement lightweight processing
+        return $record;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Streaming Large Logs
+
+### 1. Chunk Size Optimization
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Streaming\StreamingProcessor;
+
+// For memory-constrained environments
+$smallChunks = new StreamingProcessor($orchestrator, chunkSize: 100);
+
+// For throughput-optimized environments
+$largeChunks = new StreamingProcessor($orchestrator, chunkSize: 1000);
+```
+
+### 2. Parallel Processing
+
+For multi-core systems, process chunks in parallel:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+// Using pcntl_fork for parallel processing
+function processInParallel(array $files, StreamingProcessor $processor): void
+{
+    $pids = [];
+
+    foreach ($files as $file) {
+        $pid = pcntl_fork();
+
+        if ($pid === 0) {
+            // Child process
+            $lineParser = fn(string $line): array => ['message' => $line, 'context' => []];
+            foreach ($processor->processFile($file, $lineParser) as $record) {
+                // Process record
+            }
+            exit(0);
+        }
+
+        $pids[] = $pid;
+    }
+
+    // Wait for all children
+    foreach ($pids as $pid) {
+        pcntl_waitpid($pid, $status);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Production Configuration
+
+### 1. Minimal Pattern Set
+
+Only include patterns you actually need:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\DefaultPatterns;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+
+// Instead of DefaultPatterns::all(), use specific patterns
+$patterns = array_merge(
+    DefaultPatterns::emails(),
+    DefaultPatterns::creditCards(),
+    // Only what you need
+);
+
+$processor = new GdprProcessor($patterns);
+```
+
+### 2. Disable Debug Features
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Builder\GdprProcessorBuilder;
+
+$processor = (new GdprProcessorBuilder())
+    ->withDefaultPatterns()
+    ->withMaxDepth(5)           // Limit recursion
+    ->withAuditLogger(null)      // Disable audit logging
+    ->build();
+```
+
+### 3. OPcache Configuration
+
+Ensure OPcache is properly configured in `php.ini`:
+
+```ini
+opcache.enable=1
+opcache.memory_consumption=256
+opcache.interned_strings_buffer=16
+opcache.max_accelerated_files=10000
+opcache.jit=1255
+opcache.jit_buffer_size=128M
+```
+
+### 4. Preloading (PHP 8.0+)
+
+Create a preload script:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// preload.php
+
+require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
+
+// Preload core classes
+$classes = [
+    \Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor::class,
+    \Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\MaskingOrchestrator::class,
+    \Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\DefaultPatterns::class,
+    \Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\PatternValidator::class,
+];
+
+foreach ($classes as $class) {
+    class_exists($class);
+}
+```
+
+Configure in `php.ini`:
+
+```ini
+opcache.preload=/path/to/preload.php
+opcache.preload_user=www-data
+```

+
+## Introduction
+
+Plugins extend the GDPR processor's functionality without modifying core code. Use plugins when you need to:
+
+- Add custom masking patterns for your domain
+- Transform messages before or after standard masking
+- Enrich context with metadata
+- Integrate with external systems
+- Apply organization-specific compliance rules
+
+### When to Use Plugins vs. Configuration
+
+| Scenario | Use Plugin | Use Configuration |
+| -------- | --------- | ----------------- |
+| Add regex patterns | ✅ (via `getPatterns()`) | ✅ (via constructor) |
+| Custom transformation logic | ✅ | ❌ |
+| Conditional processing | ✅ | ❌ |
+| Multiple reusable rules | ✅ | ❌ |
+| Simple field masking | ❌ | ✅ |
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Create a minimal plugin in three steps:
+
+### Step 1: Create the Plugin Class
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace App\Logging\Plugins;
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Plugins\AbstractMaskingPlugin;
+
+class MyCompanyPlugin extends AbstractMaskingPlugin
+{
+    public function getName(): string
+    {
+        return 'my-company-plugin';
+    }
+
+    public function getPatterns(): array
+    {
+        return [
+            '/INTERNAL-\d{6}/' => '[INTERNAL-ID]',  // Internal ID format
+            '/EMP-[A-Z]{2}\d{4}/' => '[EMPLOYEE-ID]',  // Employee IDs
+        ];
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 2: Register the Plugin
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Builder\GdprProcessorBuilder;
+use App\Logging\Plugins\MyCompanyPlugin;
+
+$processor = GdprProcessorBuilder::create()
+    ->withDefaultPatterns()
+    ->addPlugin(new MyCompanyPlugin())
+    ->buildWithPlugins();
+```
+
+### Step 3: Use with Monolog
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Monolog\Logger;
+use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;
+
+$logger = new Logger('app');
+$logger->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('app.log'));
+$logger->pushProcessor($processor);
+
+// Internal IDs and employee IDs are now masked
+$logger->info('User INTERNAL-123456 (EMP-AB1234) logged in');
+// Output: User [INTERNAL-ID] ([EMPLOYEE-ID]) logged in
+```
+
+## Plugin Interface
+
+All plugins must implement `MaskingPluginInterface`:
+
+```php
+interface MaskingPluginInterface
+{
+    // Identification
+    public function getName(): string;
+
+    // Pre-processing hooks (before standard masking)
+    public function preProcessContext(array $context): array;
+    public function preProcessMessage(string $message): string;
+
+    // Post-processing hooks (after standard masking)
+    public function postProcessContext(array $context): array;
+    public function postProcessMessage(string $message): string;
+
+    // Configuration contribution
+    public function getPatterns(): array;
+    public function getFieldPaths(): array;
+
+    // Execution order control
+    public function getPriority(): int;
+}
+```
+
+### Method Reference
+
+| Method | Purpose | When Called |
+| ------ | ------- | ----------- |
+| `getName()` | Unique identifier for debugging | On registration |
+| `preProcessContext()` | Modify context before masking | Before core masking |
+| `preProcessMessage()` | Modify message before masking | Before core masking |
+| `postProcessContext()` | Modify context after masking | After core masking |
+| `postProcessMessage()` | Modify message after masking | After core masking |
+| `getPatterns()` | Provide regex patterns | During build |
+| `getFieldPaths()` | Provide field paths to mask | During build |
+| `getPriority()` | Control execution order | During sorting |
+
+## Abstract Base Class
+
+Extend `AbstractMaskingPlugin` to avoid implementing unused methods:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Plugins;
+
+abstract class AbstractMaskingPlugin implements MaskingPluginInterface
+{
+    public function __construct(protected readonly int $priority = 100)
+    {
+    }
+
+    // Default implementations return input unchanged
+    public function preProcessContext(array $context): array { return $context; }
+    public function postProcessContext(array $context): array { return $context; }
+    public function preProcessMessage(string $message): string { return $message; }
+    public function postProcessMessage(string $message): string { return $message; }
+    public function getPatterns(): array { return []; }
+    public function getFieldPaths(): array { return []; }
+    public function getPriority(): int { return $this->priority; }
+}
+```
+
+### Benefits
+
+- Override only the methods you need
+- Default priority of 100 (customizable via constructor)
+- All hooks pass data through unchanged by default
+
+## Registration
+
+Register plugins using `GdprProcessorBuilder`:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Builder\GdprProcessorBuilder;
+
+// Single plugin
+$processor = GdprProcessorBuilder::create()
+    ->addPlugin($plugin)
+    ->buildWithPlugins();
+
+// Multiple plugins
+$processor = GdprProcessorBuilder::create()
+    ->addPlugins([$plugin1, $plugin2, $plugin3])
+    ->buildWithPlugins();
+
+// With other configuration
+$processor = GdprProcessorBuilder::create()
+    ->withDefaultPatterns()
+    ->addPattern('/custom/', '[MASKED]')
+    ->addFieldPath('secret', FieldMaskConfig::remove())
+    ->addPlugin($plugin)
+    ->withAuditLogger($auditLogger)
+    ->buildWithPlugins();
+```
+
+### Return Types
+
+```php
+// No plugins: returns GdprProcessor (no wrapper overhead)
+$processor = GdprProcessorBuilder::create()
+    ->withDefaultPatterns()
+    ->buildWithPlugins();  // GdprProcessor
+
+// With plugins: returns PluginAwareProcessor (wraps GdprProcessor)
+$processor = GdprProcessorBuilder::create()
+    ->addPlugin($plugin)
+    ->buildWithPlugins();  // PluginAwareProcessor
+```
+
+## Hook Execution Order
+
+Understanding execution order is critical for plugins that interact:
+
+```text
+1. preProcessMessage()  - Plugins in priority order (10, 20, 30...)
+2. preProcessContext()  - Plugins in priority order (10, 20, 30...)
+3. [Core GdprProcessor masking]
+4. postProcessMessage() - Plugins in REVERSE order (30, 20, 10...)
+5. postProcessContext() - Plugins in REVERSE order (30, 20, 10...)
+```
+
+### Why Reverse Order for Post-Processing?
+
+Post-processing runs in reverse to properly "unwrap" transformations:
+
+```php
+// Plugin A (priority 10) wraps: "data" -> "[A:data:A]"
+// Plugin B (priority 20) wraps: "[A:data:A]" -> "[B:[A:data:A]:B]"
+
+// Post-processing reverse order ensures proper unwrapping:
+// Plugin B runs first: "[B:[A:masked:A]:B]" -> "[A:masked:A]"
+// Plugin A runs second: "[A:masked:A]" -> "masked"
+```
+
+## Priority System
+
+Lower numbers execute earlier in pre-processing:
+
+```php
+class HighPriorityPlugin extends AbstractMaskingPlugin
+{
+    public function __construct()
+    {
+        parent::__construct(priority: 10);  // Runs early
+    }
+}
+
+class NormalPriorityPlugin extends AbstractMaskingPlugin
+{
+    // Default priority: 100
+}
+
+class LowPriorityPlugin extends AbstractMaskingPlugin
+{
+    public function __construct()
+    {
+        parent::__construct(priority: 200);  // Runs late
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Recommended Priority Ranges
+
+| Range | Use Case | Example |
+| ----- | -------- | ------- |
+| 1-50 | Security/validation | Input sanitization |
+| 50-100 | Standard processing | Pattern masking |
+| 100-150 | Business logic | Domain-specific rules |
+| 150-200 | Enrichment | Adding metadata |
+| 200+ | Cleanup/finalization | Removing temp fields |
+
+## Configuration Contribution
+
+Plugins can contribute patterns and field paths that are merged into the processor:
+
+### Adding Patterns
+
+```php
+public function getPatterns(): array
+{
+    return [
+        '/ACME-\d{8}/' => '[ACME-ORDER]',
+        '/INV-[A-Z]{2}-\d+/' => '[INVOICE]',
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+### Adding Field Paths
+
+```php
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\FieldMaskConfig;
+
+public function getFieldPaths(): array
+{
+    return [
+        // Static replacement
+        'api_key' => FieldMaskConfig::replace('[API_KEY]'),
+
+        // Remove field entirely
+        'internal.debug' => FieldMaskConfig::remove(),
+
+        // Apply regex to field value
+        'user.notes' => FieldMaskConfig::regexMask('/\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}/', '[SSN]'),
+
+        // Use processor's global patterns
+        'user.bio' => FieldMaskConfig::useProcessorPatterns(),
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### Use Case 1: Message Transformation
+
+Transform messages before masking:
+
+```php
+class NormalizePlugin extends AbstractMaskingPlugin
+{
+    public function getName(): string
+    {
+        return 'normalize-plugin';
+    }
+
+    public function preProcessMessage(string $message): string
+    {
+        // Normalize whitespace before masking
+        return preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ', trim($message));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Use Case 2: Domain-Specific Patterns
+
+Add patterns for your organization:
+
+```php
+class HealthcarePlugin extends AbstractMaskingPlugin
+{
+    public function getName(): string
+    {
+        return 'healthcare-plugin';
+    }
+
+    public function getPatterns(): array
+    {
+        return [
+            // Medical Record Number
+            '/MRN-\d{10}/' => '[MRN]',
+            // National Provider Identifier
+            '/NPI-\d{10}/' => '[NPI]',
+            // DEA Number
+            '/DEA-[A-Z]{2}\d{7}/' => '[DEA]',
+        ];
+    }
+
+    public function getFieldPaths(): array
+    {
+        return [
+            'patient.diagnosis' => FieldMaskConfig::replace('[PHI]'),
+            'patient.medications' => FieldMaskConfig::remove(),
+        ];
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Use Case 3: Context Enrichment
+
+Add metadata to context:
+
+```php
+class AuditPlugin extends AbstractMaskingPlugin
+{
+    public function getName(): string
+    {
+        return 'audit-plugin';
+    }
+
+    public function __construct(private readonly string $environment)
+    {
+        parent::__construct(priority: 150);  // Run late
+    }
+
+    public function postProcessContext(array $context): array
+    {
+        $context['_audit'] = [
+            'processed_at' => date('c'),
+            'environment' => $this->environment,
+            'plugin_version' => '1.0.0',
+        ];
+        return $context;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Use Case 4: Conditional Masking
+
+Apply masking based on conditions:
+
+```php
+class EnvironmentAwarePlugin extends AbstractMaskingPlugin
+{
+    public function getName(): string
+    {
+        return 'environment-aware-plugin';
+    }
+
+    public function preProcessContext(array $context): array
+    {
+        // Only mask in production
+        if (getenv('APP_ENV') !== 'production') {
+            return $context;
+        }
+
+        // Add extra masking for production
+        if (isset($context['debug_info'])) {
+            $context['debug_info'] = '[REDACTED IN PRODUCTION]';
+        }
+
+        return $context;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Use Case 5: External Integration
+
+Integrate with external services:
+
+```php
+class CompliancePlugin extends AbstractMaskingPlugin
+{
+    public function getName(): string
+    {
+        return 'compliance-plugin';
+    }
+
+    public function __construct(
+        private readonly ComplianceService $service
+    ) {
+        parent::__construct(priority: 50);
+    }
+
+    public function postProcessContext(array $context): array
+    {
+        // Log to compliance system
+        $this->service->recordMaskingEvent(
+            fields: array_keys($context),
+            timestamp: new \DateTimeImmutable()
+        );
+
+        return $context;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Keep Plugins Focused
+
+Each plugin should have a single responsibility:
+
+```php
+// Good: Single purpose
+class EmailPatternPlugin extends AbstractMaskingPlugin { /* ... */ }
+class PhonePatternPlugin extends AbstractMaskingPlugin { /* ... */ }
+
+// Avoid: Multiple unrelated responsibilities
+class EverythingPlugin extends AbstractMaskingPlugin { /* ... */ }
+```
+
+### 2. Use Descriptive Names
+
+Plugin names should be unique and descriptive:
+
+```php
+// Good
+public function getName(): string
+{
+    return 'acme-healthcare-hipaa-v2';
+}
+
+// Avoid
+public function getName(): string
+{
+    return 'plugin1';
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Handle Errors Gracefully
+
+Plugins should not throw exceptions that break logging:
+
+```php
+public function preProcessContext(array $context): array
+{
+    try {
+        // Risky operation
+        $context['processed'] = $this->riskyTransform($context);
+    } catch (\Throwable $e) {
+        // Log error but don't break logging
+        error_log("Plugin error: " . $e->getMessage());
+    }
+
+    return $context;  // Always return context
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Document Your Patterns
+
+Add comments explaining pattern purpose:
+
+```php
+public function getPatterns(): array
+{
+    return [
+        // ACME internal order numbers: ACME-YYYYMMDD-NNNN
+        '/ACME-\d{8}-\d{4}/' => '[ORDER-ID]',
+
+        // Employee badges: EMP followed by 6 digits
+        '/EMP\d{6}/' => '[EMPLOYEE]',
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Test Your Plugins
+
+Create comprehensive tests:
+
+```php
+class MyPluginTest extends TestCase
+{
+    public function testPatternMasking(): void
+    {
+        $plugin = new MyPlugin();
+        $patterns = $plugin->getPatterns();
+
+        // Test each pattern
+        foreach ($patterns as $pattern => $replacement) {
+            $this->assertMatchesRegularExpression($pattern, 'INTERNAL-123456');
+        }
+    }
+
+    public function testPreProcessing(): void
+    {
+        $plugin = new MyPlugin();
+        $context = ['sensitive' => 'value'];
+
+        $result = $plugin->preProcessContext($context);
+
+        $this->assertArrayHasKey('sensitive', $result);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Consider Performance
+
+Avoid expensive operations in hooks that run for every log entry:
+
+```php
+// Good: Simple operations
+public function preProcessMessage(string $message): string
+{
+    return trim($message);
+}
+
+// Avoid: Heavy operations for every log
+public function preProcessMessage(string $message): string
+{
+    return $this->httpClient->validateMessage($message);  // Slow!
+}
+```
+
+### 7. Use Priority Thoughtfully
+
+Consider how your plugin interacts with others:
+
+```php
+// Security validation should run early
+class SecurityPlugin extends AbstractMaskingPlugin
+{
+    public function __construct()
+    {
+        parent::__construct(priority: 10);
+    }
+}
+
+// Metadata enrichment should run late
+class MetadataPlugin extends AbstractMaskingPlugin
+{
+    public function __construct()
+    {
+        parent::__construct(priority: 180);
+    }
+}
+```

+# PSR-3 Logger Decorator Guide
+
+This guide explains how to wrap any PSR-3 compatible logger with GDPR masking capabilities.
+
+## Overview
+
+The PSR-3 decorator pattern allows you to add GDPR filtering to any logger that implements `Psr\Log\LoggerInterface`, making the library compatible with virtually any PHP logging framework.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Creating a PSR-3 Wrapper
+
+Here's a simple decorator that wraps any PSR-3 logger:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace YourApp\Logging;
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;
+use Psr\Log\LogLevel;
+use Monolog\Level;
+use Monolog\LogRecord;
+use DateTimeImmutable;
+use Stringable;
+
+class GdprLoggerDecorator implements LoggerInterface
+{
+    public function __construct(
+        private readonly LoggerInterface $innerLogger,
+        private readonly GdprProcessor $gdprProcessor
+    ) {
+    }
+
+    public function emergency(string|Stringable $message, array $context = []): void
+    {
+        $this->log(LogLevel::EMERGENCY, $message, $context);
+    }
+
+    public function alert(string|Stringable $message, array $context = []): void
+    {
+        $this->log(LogLevel::ALERT, $message, $context);
+    }
+
+    public function critical(string|Stringable $message, array $context = []): void
+    {
+        $this->log(LogLevel::CRITICAL, $message, $context);
+    }
+
+    public function error(string|Stringable $message, array $context = []): void
+    {
+        $this->log(LogLevel::ERROR, $message, $context);
+    }
+
+    public function warning(string|Stringable $message, array $context = []): void
+    {
+        $this->log(LogLevel::WARNING, $message, $context);
+    }
+
+    public function notice(string|Stringable $message, array $context = []): void
+    {
+        $this->log(LogLevel::NOTICE, $message, $context);
+    }
+
+    public function info(string|Stringable $message, array $context = []): void
+    {
+        $this->log(LogLevel::INFO, $message, $context);
+    }
+
+    public function debug(string|Stringable $message, array $context = []): void
+    {
+        $this->log(LogLevel::DEBUG, $message, $context);
+    }
+
+    public function log($level, string|Stringable $message, array $context = []): void
+    {
+        // Convert PSR-3 level to Monolog level
+        $monologLevel = $this->convertLevel($level);
+
+        // Create a Monolog LogRecord for processing
+        $record = new LogRecord(
+            datetime: new DateTimeImmutable(),
+            channel: 'app',
+            level: $monologLevel,
+            message: (string) $message,
+            context: $context
+        );
+
+        // Apply GDPR processing
+        $processedRecord = ($this->gdprProcessor)($record);
+
+        // Pass to inner logger
+        $this->innerLogger->log($level, $processedRecord->message, $processedRecord->context);
+    }
+
+    private function convertLevel(mixed $level): Level
+    {
+        return match ($level) {
+            LogLevel::EMERGENCY => Level::Emergency,
+            LogLevel::ALERT => Level::Alert,
+            LogLevel::CRITICAL => Level::Critical,
+            LogLevel::ERROR => Level::Error,
+            LogLevel::WARNING => Level::Warning,
+            LogLevel::NOTICE => Level::Notice,
+            LogLevel::INFO => Level::Info,
+            LogLevel::DEBUG => Level::Debug,
+            default => Level::Info,
+        };
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### With Any PSR-3 Logger
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use YourApp\Logging\GdprLoggerDecorator;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+use Monolog\Logger;
+use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;
+
+// Your existing PSR-3 logger (could be Monolog, any other, etc.)
+$existingLogger = new Logger('app');
+$existingLogger->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('php://stdout'));
+
+// Create GDPR processor
+$gdprProcessor = new GdprProcessor([
+    '/[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}/' => '[email]',
+    '/\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b/' => '***-**-****',
+]);
+
+// Wrap with GDPR decorator
+$logger = new GdprLoggerDecorator($existingLogger, $gdprProcessor);
+
+// Use as normal
+$logger->info('User john@example.com logged in with SSN 123-45-6789');
+// Output: User [email] logged in with SSN ***-**-****
+```
+
+### With Dependency Injection
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use YourApp\Logging\GdprLoggerDecorator;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;
+
+class UserService
+{
+    public function __construct(
+        private readonly LoggerInterface $logger
+    ) {
+    }
+
+    public function createUser(string $email, string $ssn): void
+    {
+        // Log will be automatically GDPR-filtered
+        $this->logger->info("Creating user: {email}, SSN: {ssn}", [
+            'email' => $email,
+            'ssn' => $ssn,
+        ]);
+    }
+}
+
+// Container configuration (pseudo-code)
+$container->register(GdprProcessor::class, function () {
+    return new GdprProcessor([
+        '/[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}/' => '[email]',
+    ]);
+});
+
+$container->register(LoggerInterface::class, function ($container) {
+    return new GdprLoggerDecorator(
+        $container->get('original_logger'),
+        $container->get(GdprProcessor::class)
+    );
+});
+```
+
+## Enhanced Decorator with Channel Support

+        );
+
+        $processedRecord = ($this->gdprProcessor)($record);
+
+        $this->innerLogger->log($level, $processedRecord->message, $processedRecord->context);
+    }
+

+# Symfony Integration Guide
+
+This guide explains how to integrate the Monolog GDPR Filter with Symfony applications.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+composer require ivuorinen/monolog-gdpr-filter
+```
+
+## Basic Service Configuration
+
+Add the GDPR processor as a service in `config/services.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+    App\Logging\GdprProcessor:
+        class: Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor
+        arguments:
+            $patterns: '%gdpr.patterns%'
+            $fieldPaths: '%gdpr.field_paths%'
+            $customCallbacks: []
+            $auditLogger: null
+            $maxDepth: 100
+            $dataTypeMasks: []
+            $conditionalRules: []
+```
+
+## Parameters Configuration
+
+Define GDPR patterns in `config/services.yaml` or a dedicated parameters file:
+
+```yaml
+parameters:
+    gdpr.patterns:
+        '/\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b/': '***-**-****'        # US SSN
+        '/\b[A-Z]{2}\d{2}[A-Z0-9]{4}\d{7}([A-Z0-9]?){0,16}\b/': '****'  # IBAN
+        '/[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}/': '[email]'   # Email
+        '/\b\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}\b/': '****-****-****-****'  # Credit Card
+
+    gdpr.field_paths:
+        'user.password': '***REMOVED***'
+        'user.ssn': '***-**-****'
+        'payment.card_number': '****-****-****-****'
+```
+
+## Monolog Handler Configuration
+
+Configure Monolog to use the GDPR processor in `config/packages/monolog.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+monolog:
+    handlers:
+        main:
+            type: stream
+            path: "%kernel.logs_dir%/%kernel.environment%.log"
+            level: debug
+            channels: ["!event"]
+            formatter: monolog.formatter.json
+            processor: ['@App\Logging\GdprProcessor']
+
+        # For production with file rotation
+        production:
+            type: rotating_file
+            path: "%kernel.logs_dir%/%kernel.environment%.log"
+            level: info
+            max_files: 14
+            processor: ['@App\Logging\GdprProcessor']
+```
+
+## Environment-Specific Configuration
+
+Create environment-specific configurations:
+
+### config/packages/dev/monolog.yaml
+
+```yaml
+monolog:
+    handlers:
+        main:
+            type: stream
+            path: "%kernel.logs_dir%/%kernel.environment%.log"
+            level: debug
+            # In dev, you might want less aggressive masking
+```
+
+### config/packages/prod/monolog.yaml
+
+```yaml
+monolog:
+    handlers:
+        main:
+            type: fingers_crossed
+            action_level: error
+            handler: nested
+            excluded_http_codes: [404, 405]
+            buffer_size: 50
+
+        nested:
+            type: rotating_file
+            path: "%kernel.logs_dir%/%kernel.environment%.log"
+            level: info
+            max_files: 14
+            processor: ['@App\Logging\GdprProcessor']
+```
+
+## Advanced Configuration with Audit Logging
+
+Enable audit logging for compliance tracking:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+    App\Logging\AuditLogger:
+        class: Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\RateLimitedAuditLogger
+        arguments:
+            $auditLogger: '@App\Logging\AuditCallback'
+            $maxRequestsPerMinute: 100
+            $windowSeconds: 60
+
+    App\Logging\AuditCallback:
+        class: Closure
+        factory: ['App\Logging\AuditCallbackFactory', 'create']
+        arguments:
+            $logger: '@monolog.logger.audit'
+
+    App\Logging\GdprProcessor:
+        class: Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor
+        arguments:
+            $patterns: '%gdpr.patterns%'
+            $fieldPaths: '%gdpr.field_paths%'
+            $auditLogger: '@App\Logging\AuditLogger'
+```
+
+Create the factory class:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// src/Logging/AuditCallbackFactory.php
+
+namespace App\Logging;
+
+use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;
+
+class AuditCallbackFactory
+{
+    public static function create(LoggerInterface $logger): callable
+    {
+        return function (string $path, mixed $original, mixed $masked) use ($logger): void {
+            $logger->info('GDPR masking applied', [
+                'path' => $path,
+                'original_type' => gettype($original),
+                'masked_preview' => substr((string) $masked, 0, 20) . '...',
+            ]);
+        };
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Conditional Masking by Environment
+
+Apply different masking rules based on log level or channel:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+    App\Logging\ConditionalRuleFactory:
+        class: App\Logging\ConditionalRuleFactory
+
+    App\Logging\GdprProcessor:
+        class: Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor
+        arguments:
+            $conditionalRules:
+                error_only: '@=service("App\\Logging\\ConditionalRuleFactory").createErrorOnlyRule()'
+```
+
+```php
+<?php
+// src/Logging/ConditionalRuleFactory.php
+
+namespace App\Logging;
+
+use Monolog\Level;
+use Monolog\LogRecord;
+
+class ConditionalRuleFactory
+{
+    public function createErrorOnlyRule(): callable
+    {
+        return fn(LogRecord $record): bool =>
+            $record->level->value >= Level::Error->value;
+    }
+
+    public function createChannelRule(array $channels): callable
+    {
+        return fn(LogRecord $record): bool =>
+            in_array($record->channel, $channels, true);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Testing in Symfony
+
+Create a test to verify GDPR filtering works:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// tests/Logging/GdprProcessorTest.php
+
+namespace App\Tests\Logging;
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+use Monolog\Level;
+use Monolog\LogRecord;
+use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;
+use DateTimeImmutable;
+
+class GdprProcessorTest extends TestCase
+{
+    public function testEmailMasking(): void
+    {
+        $processor = new GdprProcessor([
+            '/[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}/' => '[email]',
+        ]);
+
+        $record = new LogRecord(
+            datetime: new DateTimeImmutable(),
+            channel: 'test',
+            level: Level::Info,
+            message: 'User logged in: user@example.com',
+            context: []
+        );
+
+        $result = $processor($record);
+
+        $this->assertStringContainsString('[email]', $result->message);
+        $this->assertStringNotContainsString('user@example.com', $result->message);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Patterns Not Matching
+
+1. Verify regex patterns are valid: `preg_match('/your-pattern/', 'test-string')`
+2. Check pattern escaping in YAML (may need quotes)
+3. Enable debug mode to see which patterns are applied
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+1. Use the rate-limited audit logger
+2. Consider caching pattern validation results
+3. Profile with Symfony profiler
+
+### Memory Issues
+
+1. Set appropriate `maxDepth` to prevent deep recursion
+2. Monitor rate limiter statistics
+3. Use cleanup intervals for long-running processes

+## Installation Issues
+
+### Composer Installation Fails
+
+**Symptom:** `composer require` fails with dependency conflicts.
+
+**Solution:**
+
+```bash
+# Check PHP version
+php -v  # Must be 8.4 or higher
+
+# Clear Composer cache
+composer clear-cache
+
+# Update Composer
+composer self-update
+
+# Try again with verbose output
+composer require ivuorinen/monolog-gdpr-filter -vvv
+```
+
+### Class Not Found Errors
+
+**Symptom:** `Class 'Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor' not found`
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Regenerate autoloader:
+
+```bash
+composer dump-autoload
+```
+
+2. Verify installation:
+
+```bash
+composer show ivuorinen/monolog-gdpr-filter
+```
+
+3. Check namespace in your code:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// Correct
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+
+// Wrong
+use MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+```
+
+## Pattern Matching Problems
+
+### Pattern Not Matching Expected Data
+
+**Symptom:** Sensitive data is not being masked.
+
+**Diagnostic steps:**
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\PatternValidator;
+
+$validator = new PatternValidator();
+$pattern = '/your-pattern-here/';
+
+// Test 1: Validate pattern syntax
+$result = $validator->validate($pattern);
+if (!$result['valid']) {
+    echo "Invalid pattern: " . $result['error'] . "\n";
+}
+
+// Test 2: Test pattern directly
+$testData = 'your test data with sensitive@email.com';
+if (preg_match($pattern, $testData, $matches)) {
+    echo "Pattern matches: " . print_r($matches, true);
+} else {
+    echo "Pattern does not match\n";
+}
+
+// Test 3: Test with processor
+$processor = new GdprProcessor([$pattern => '[MASKED]']);
+$record = [
+    'message' => $testData,
+    'context' => [],
+    'level' => 200,
+    'level_name' => 'INFO',
+    'channel' => 'app',
+    'datetime' => new DateTimeImmutable(),
+    'extra' => [],
+];
+
+$result = $processor($record);
+echo "Result: " . $result['message'] . "\n";
+```
+
+### Pattern Matches Too Much
+
+**Symptom:** Non-sensitive data is being masked.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Add word boundaries:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// Too broad
+$pattern = '/\d{4}/';  // Matches any 4 digits
+
+// Better - with boundaries
+$pattern = '/\b\d{4}\b/';  // Matches standalone 4-digit numbers
+```
+
+2. Use more specific patterns:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// Too broad for credit cards
+$pattern = '/\d{16}/';
+
+// Better - credit card format
+$pattern = '/\b(?:\d{4}[-\s]?){3}\d{4}\b/';
+```
+
+3. Add negative lookahead/lookbehind:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// Avoid matching dates that look like years
+$pattern = '/(?<!\d{2}\/)\b\d{4}\b(?!\/\d{2})/';
+```
+
+### Special Characters in Patterns
+
+**Symptom:** Pattern with special characters fails.
+
+**Solution:** Escape special regex characters:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// Wrong - unescaped special chars
+$pattern = '/user.name@domain.com/';
+
+// Correct - escaped dots
+$pattern = '/user\.name@domain\.com/';
+
+// Using preg_quote for dynamic patterns
+$email = 'user.name@domain.com';
+$pattern = '/' . preg_quote($email, '/') . '/';
+```
+
+## Performance Issues
+
+### Slow Processing
+
+**Symptom:** Log processing is slower than expected.
+
+**Diagnostic:**
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+$start = microtime(true);
+for ($i = 0; $i < 1000; $i++) {
+    $processor($record);
+}
+$elapsed = microtime(true) - $start;
+echo "1000 records: {$elapsed}s\n";
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Reduce pattern count:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// Only include patterns you need
+$patterns = DefaultPatterns::emails() + DefaultPatterns::creditCards();
+```
+
+2. Simplify complex patterns:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// Slow: Complex pattern with many alternatives
+$slow = '/(january|february|march|april|may|june|july|august|september|october|november|december)/i';
+
+// Faster: Simpler pattern
+$fast = '/\b[A-Z][a-z]{2,8}\b/';
+```
+
+3. Limit recursion depth:
+
+```php
+<?php
+$processor = new GdprProcessor($patterns, [], [], null, 5);  // Max depth 5
+```
+
+See [Performance Tuning Guide](performance-tuning.md) for detailed optimization strategies.
+
+### High CPU Usage
+
+**Symptom:** Processing causes CPU spikes.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Check for catastrophic backtracking:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// Problematic pattern
+$bad = '/.*@.*\..*/';  // Can cause backtracking
+
+// Fixed pattern
+$good = '/[^@]+@[^.]+\.[a-z]+/i';
+```
+
+2. Add pattern timeout (PHP 7.3+):
+
+```php
+<?php
+// Set PCRE backtrack limit
+ini_set('pcre.backtrack_limit', '100000');
+```
+
+## Memory Problems
+
+### Out of Memory Errors
+
+**Symptom:** `Allowed memory size exhausted`
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Use streaming for large files:
+
+```php
+<?php
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Streaming\StreamingProcessor;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\MaskingOrchestrator;
+
+$orchestrator = new MaskingOrchestrator($patterns);
+$streaming = new StreamingProcessor($orchestrator, chunkSize: 100);
+
+// Process file without loading entirely into memory
+$lineParser = fn(string $line): array => ['message' => $line, 'context' => []];
+foreach ($streaming->processFile($largefile, $lineParser) as $record) {
+    // Process one record at a time
+}
+```
+
+2. Reduce recursion depth:
+
+```php
+<?php
+$processor = new GdprProcessor($patterns, [], [], null, 3);
+```
+
+3. Disable audit logging:
+
+```php
+<?php
+$processor = new GdprProcessor($patterns, [], [], null);  // No audit logger
+```
+
+### Memory Leaks
+
+**Symptom:** Memory usage grows over time in long-running processes.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Clear caches periodically:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// In long-running workers
+if ($processedCount % 10000 === 0) {
+    gc_collect_cycles();
+}
+```
+
+2. Use fresh processor instances for batch jobs:
+
+```php
+<?php
+foreach ($batches as $batch) {
+    $processor = new GdprProcessor($patterns);  // Fresh instance
+    foreach ($batch as $record) {
+        $processor($record);
+    }
+    unset($processor);  // Release memory
+}
+```
+
+## Integration Issues
+
+### Laravel Integration
+
+**Symptom:** Processor not being applied to logs.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Verify service provider registration:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// config/app.php
+'providers' => [
+    Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Laravel\GdprServiceProvider::class,
+],
+```
+
+2. Check logging configuration:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// config/logging.php
+'channels' => [
+    'stack' => [
+        'driver' => 'stack',
+        'channels' => ['gdpr'],
+    ],
+    'gdpr' => [
+        'driver' => 'single',
+        'path' => storage_path('logs/laravel.log'),
+        'tap' => [GdprLogTap::class],
+    ],
+],
+```
+
+3. Clear config cache:
+
+```bash
+php artisan config:clear
+php artisan cache:clear
+```
+
+### Monolog Integration
+
+**Symptom:** Processor not working with Monolog logger.
+
+**Solution:** Ensure processor is pushed to logger:
+
+```php
+<?php
+use Monolog\Logger;
+use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+
+$logger = new Logger('app');
+$logger->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('app.log'));
+$logger->pushProcessor(new GdprProcessor(DefaultPatterns::all()));
+
+// Test it
+$logger->info('User email: test@example.com');
+```
+
+### Symfony Integration
+
+See [Symfony Integration Guide](symfony-integration.md) for detailed setup.
+
+## Audit Logging Issues
+
+### Audit Logger Not Receiving Events
+
+**Symptom:** Audit callback never called.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Verify audit logger is set:
+
+```php
+<?php
+$auditLogs = [];
+$auditLogger = function (string $path, mixed $original, mixed $masked) use (&$auditLogs): void {
+    $auditLogs[] = compact('path', 'original', 'masked');
+};
+
+$processor = new GdprProcessor(
+    patterns: $patterns,
+    auditLogger: $auditLogger
+);
+```
+
+2. Verify masking is actually occurring:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// Audit is only called when data is actually masked
+$record = ['message' => 'No sensitive data here', 'context' => []];
+// This won't trigger audit because nothing is masked
+```
+
+### Rate-Limited Audit Missing Events
+
+**Symptom:** Some audit events are being dropped.
+
+**Solution:** Adjust rate limit settings:
+
+```php
+<?php
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\RateLimiter;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\RateLimitedAuditLogger;
+
+$rateLimiter = new RateLimiter(
+    maxEvents: 1000,     // Increase limit
+    windowSeconds: 60,
+    burstLimit: 100      // Increase burst
+);
+
+$rateLimitedLogger = new RateLimitedAuditLogger($baseLogger, $rateLimiter);
+```
+
+## Error Messages Reference
+
+### InvalidRegexPatternException
+
+**Message:** `Invalid regex pattern: [pattern]`
+
+**Cause:** The pattern has invalid regex syntax.
+
+**Solution:**
+
+```php
+<?php
+// Test pattern before using
+$pattern = '/[invalid/';
+if (@preg_match($pattern, '') === false) {
+    echo "Invalid pattern: " . preg_last_error_msg();
+}
+```
+
+### RecursionDepthExceededException
+
+**Message:** `Maximum recursion depth exceeded`
+
+**Cause:** Nested data structure exceeds max depth.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+```php
+<?php
+// Increase max depth
+$processor = new GdprProcessor($patterns, [], [], null, 20);
+
+// Or flatten your data before processing
+$flatContext = iterator_to_array(
+    new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
+        new RecursiveArrayIterator($context)
+    ),
+    false
+);
+```
+
+### MaskingOperationFailedException
+
+**Message:** `Masking operation failed: [details]`
+
+**Cause:** An error occurred during masking.
+
+**Solution:** Enable recovery mode:
+
+```php
+<?php
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Recovery\FallbackMaskStrategy;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Recovery\FailureMode;
+
+$fallback = new FallbackMaskStrategy(FailureMode::FAIL_SAFE);
+// Use with your processor
+```
+
+### InvalidConfigurationException
+
+**Message:** `Invalid configuration: [details]`
+
+**Cause:** Invalid processor configuration.
+
+**Solution:** Validate configuration:
+
+```php
+<?php
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Builder\GdprProcessorBuilder;
+
+try {
+    $processor = (new GdprProcessorBuilder())
+        ->addPattern('/valid-pattern/', '[MASKED]')
+        ->build();
+} catch (InvalidConfigurationException $e) {
+    echo "Configuration error: " . $e->getMessage();
+}
+```
+
+## Getting Help
+
+If you're still experiencing issues:
+
+1. **Check the tests:** The test suite contains many usage examples:
+
+   ```bash
+   ls tests/
+   ```
+
+2. **Enable debug mode:** Add verbose logging:
+
+   ```php
+   <?php
+   $auditLogger = function ($path, $original, $masked): void {
+       error_log("GDPR Mask: $path | $original -> $masked");
+   };
+   ```
+
+3. **Report issues:** Open an issue on GitHub with:
+   - PHP version (`php -v`)
+   - Library version (`composer show ivuorinen/monolog-gdpr-filter`)
+   - Minimal reproduction code
+   - Expected vs actual behavior

+# Laravel Integration Examples
+
+This document provides comprehensive examples for integrating the Monolog GDPR Filter with Laravel applications.
+
+## Installation and Setup
+
+### 1. Install the Package
+
+```bash
+composer require ivuorinen/monolog-gdpr-filter
+```
+
+### 2. Register the Service Provider
+
+Add the service provider to your `config/app.php`:
+
+```php
+'providers' => [
+    // Other providers...
+    Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Laravel\GdprServiceProvider::class,
+],
+```
+
+### 3. Add the Facade (Optional)
+
+```php
+'aliases' => [
+    // Other aliases...
+    'Gdpr' => Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Laravel\Facades\Gdpr::class,
+],
+```
+
+### 4. Publish the Configuration
+
+```bash
+php artisan vendor:publish --tag=gdpr-config
+```
+
+## Configuration Examples
+
+### Basic Configuration (`config/gdpr.php`)
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+return [
+    'auto_register' => true,
+    'channels' => ['single', 'daily', 'stack'],
+
+    'field_paths' => [
+        'user.email' => '', // Mask with regex
+        'user.ssn' => GdprProcessor::removeField(),
+        'payment.card_number' => GdprProcessor::replaceWith('[CARD]'),
+        'request.password' => GdprProcessor::removeField(),
+    ],
+
+    'custom_callbacks' => [
+        'user.ip' => fn($value) => hash('sha256', $value), // Hash IPs
+        'user.name' => fn($value) => strtoupper($value),   // Transform names
+    ],
+
+    'max_depth' => 100,
+
+    'audit_logging' => [
+        'enabled' => env('GDPR_AUDIT_ENABLED', false),
+        'channel' => 'gdpr-audit',
+    ],
+];
+```
+
+### Advanced Configuration
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+
+return [
+    'patterns' => [
+        // Custom patterns for your application
+        '/\binternal-id-\d+\b/' => '***INTERNAL***',
+        '/\bcustomer-\d{6}\b/' => '***CUSTOMER***',
+    ],
+
+    'field_paths' => [
+        // User data
+        'user.email' => '',
+        'user.phone' => GdprProcessor::replaceWith('[PHONE]'),
+        'user.address' => GdprProcessor::removeField(),
+
+        // Payment data
+        'payment.card_number' => GdprProcessor::replaceWith('[CARD]'),
+        'payment.cvv' => GdprProcessor::removeField(),
+        'payment.account_number' => GdprProcessor::replaceWith('[ACCOUNT]'),
+
+        // Request data
+        'request.password' => GdprProcessor::removeField(),
+        'request.token' => GdprProcessor::replaceWith('[TOKEN]'),
+        'headers.authorization' => GdprProcessor::replaceWith('[AUTH]'),
+    ],
+
+    'custom_callbacks' => [
+        // Hash sensitive identifiers
+        'user.ip' => fn($ip) => 'ip_' . substr(hash('sha256', $ip), 0, 8),
+        'session.id' => fn($id) => 'sess_' . substr(hash('sha256', $id), 0, 12),
+
+        // Mask parts of identifiers
+        'user.username' => function($username) {
+            if (strlen($username) <= 3) return '***';
+            return substr($username, 0, 2) . str_repeat('*', strlen($username) - 2);
+        },
+    ],
+];
+```
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### 1. Using the Facade
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Laravel\Facades\Gdpr;
+
+// Mask a message directly
+$maskedMessage = Gdpr::regExpMessage('Contact john.doe@example.com for details');
+// Result: "Contact ***EMAIL*** for details"
+
+// Get default patterns
+$patterns = Gdpr::getDefaultPatterns();
+
+// Test pattern validation
+try {
+    Gdpr::validatePatterns(['/\btest\b/' => '***TEST***']);
+    echo "Pattern is valid!";
+} catch (InvalidArgumentException $e) {
+    echo "Pattern error: " . $e->getMessage();
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Manual Integration with Specific Channels
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+// In a service provider or middleware
+use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\GdprProcessor;
+
+$processor = app('gdpr.processor');
+
+// Add to specific channel
+Log::channel('api')->pushProcessor($processor);
+Log::channel('audit')->pushProcessor($processor);
+```
+
+### 3. Custom Logging with GDPR Protection
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
+
+class UserService
+{
+    public function createUser(array $userData)
+    {
+        // This will automatically be GDPR filtered
+        Log::info('Creating user', [
+            'user_data' => $userData, // Contains email, phone, etc.
+            'request_ip' => request()->ip(),
+            'timestamp' => now(),
+        ]);
+
+        // User creation logic...
+    }
+
+    public function loginAttempt(string $email, bool $success)
+    {
+        Log::info('Login attempt', [
+            'email' => $email, // Will be masked
+            'success' => $success,
+            'ip' => request()->ip(), // Will be hashed if configured
+            'user_agent' => request()->userAgent(),
+        ]);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Artisan Commands
+
+### Test Regex Patterns
+
+```bash
+# Test a pattern against sample data
+php artisan gdpr:test-pattern '/\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b/' '***SSN***' '123-45-6789'
+
+# With validation
+php artisan gdpr:test-pattern '/\b\d{16}\b/' '***CARD***' '4111111111111111' --validate
+```
+
+### Debug Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Show current configuration
+php artisan gdpr:debug --show-config
+
+# Show all patterns
+php artisan gdpr:debug --show-patterns
+
+# Test with sample data
+php artisan gdpr:debug \
+  --test-data='{
+    "message":"Email: test@example.com", "context":{"user":{"email":"user@example.com"}}
+  }'
+```
+
+## Middleware Integration
+
+### HTTP Request/Response Logging
+
+Register the middleware in `app/Http/Kernel.php`:
+
+```php
+protected $middleware = [
+    // Other middleware...
+    \Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Laravel\Middleware\GdprLogMiddleware::class,
+];
+```
+
+Or apply to specific routes:
+
+```php
+Route::middleware(['gdpr.log'])->group(function () {
+    Route::post('/api/users', [UserController::class, 'store']);
+    Route::put('/api/users/{id}', [UserController::class, 'update']);
+});
+```
+
+### Custom Middleware Example
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace App\Http\Middleware;
+
+use Closure;
+use Illuminate\Http\Request;
+use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Laravel\Facades\Gdpr;
+
+class ApiRequestLogger
+{
+    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
+    {
+        $startTime = microtime(true);
+
+        // Log request
+        Log::info('API Request', [
+            'method' => $request->method(),
+            'url' => $request->fullUrl(),
+            'headers' => $request->headers->all(),
+            'body' => $request->all(),
+        ]);
+
+        $response = $next($request);
+
+        // Log response
+        Log::info('API Response', [
+            'status' => $response->getStatusCode(),
+            'duration' => round((microtime(true) - $startTime) * 1000, 2),
+            'memory' => memory_get_peak_usage(true),
+        ]);
+
+        return $response;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Testing with GDPR
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Tests\Unit;
+
+use Tests\TestCase;
+use Ivuorinen\MonologGdprFilter\Laravel\Facades\Gdpr;
+
+class GdprTest extends TestCase
+{
+    public function test_email_masking()
+    {
+        $result = Gdpr::regExpMessage('Contact john@example.com');
+        $this->assertStringContains('***EMAIL***', $result);
+    }
+
+    public function test_custom_pattern()
+    {
+        $processor = new GdprProcessor([
+            '/\bcustomer-\d+\b/' => '***CUSTOMER***'
+        ]);
+
+        $result = $processor->regExpMessage('Order for customer-12345');
+        $this->assertEquals('Order for ***CUSTOMER***', $result);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Integration Testing
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Tests\Feature;
+
+use Tests\TestCase;
+use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
+
+class GdprLoggingTest extends TestCase
+{
+    public function test_user_creation_logging()
+    {
+        Log::shouldReceive('info')
+            ->once()
+            ->with('Creating user', \Mockery::on(function ($context) {
+                // Verify that email is masked
+                return str_contains($context['user_data']['email'], '***EMAIL***');
+            }));
+
+        $response = $this->postJson('/api/users', [
+            'name' => 'John Doe',
+            'email' => 'john@example.com',
+            'phone' => '+1234567890',
+        ]);
+
+        $response->assertStatus(201);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Optimize for Large Applications
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+// config/gdpr.php
+return [
+    'performance' => [
+        'chunk_size' => 500, // Smaller chunks for memory-constrained environments
+        'garbage_collection_threshold' => 5000, // More frequent GC
+    ],
+
+    // Use more specific patterns to reduce processing time
+    'patterns' => [
+        '/\b[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}\b/' => '***EMAIL***',
+        '/\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b/' => '***SSN***',
+        // Avoid overly broad patterns
+    ],
+
+    // Prefer field paths over regex for known locations
+    'field_paths' => [
+        'user.email' => '',
+        'request.email' => '',
+        'customer.email_address' => '',
+    ],
+];
+```
+
+### Channel-Specific Configuration
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+// Apply GDPR only to specific channels
+'channels' => [
+    'single',    // Local development
+    'daily',     // Production file logs
+    'database',  // Database logging
+    // Skip 'stderr' for performance-critical error logging
+],
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **GDPR not working**: Check if auto_register is true and channels are correctly configured
+2. **Performance issues**: Reduce pattern count, use field_paths instead of regex
+3. **Over-masking**: Make patterns more specific, check pattern order
+4. **Memory issues**: Reduce chunk_size and garbage_collection_threshold
+
+### Debug Steps
+
+```bash
+# Check configuration
+php artisan gdpr:debug --show-config
+
+# Test patterns
+php artisan gdpr:test-pattern '/your-pattern/' '***MASKED***' 'test-string'
+
+# View current patterns
+php artisan gdpr:debug --show-patterns
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use field paths over regex** when you know the exact location of sensitive data
+2. **Test patterns thoroughly** before deploying to production
+3. **Monitor performance** with large datasets
+4. **Use audit logging** for compliance requirements
+5. **Regularly review patterns** to ensure they're not over-masking
+6. **Consider data retention** policies for logged data
