WAF Payload Logging Improvements for Cloudflare Customers

🔍 Cloudflare describes enhancements to its Web Application Firewall (WAF) payload logging, which now records specific request fields and post-transformation values that triggered a rule. The feature disambiguates which branch of a rule evaluated true, logs partial matches with contextual slices, and reduces the amount of data written for large fields. Cloudflare also optimized regex compilation and memory usage, shrank median log sizes, and plans further work on binary formats and expanded WAF coverage.
