LOG-10325: match structured log levels case-insensitively - #3525
Structured level tokens such as "level":"info" were matched case-sensitively, so "level":"INFO" missed attempt 4 in SetLogLevel.
Detection then fell through to the keyword scan and kept the earliest severity word. {"message":"There were no error","level":"INFO"} was stored as error.
The structured alternatives are now case-insensitive ((?i:...)). Klog prefixes such as ^E[0-9]+ stay case-sensitive, and a matching level field still wins over words in the message.
TestStructuredLevelIsCaseInsensitive covers uppercase JSON, logfmt, and Value: tokens, and checks that a lowercase klog-like prefix is not treated as an error
make test-unit for the vector generator fixtures (internal/generator/vector/input and internal/generator/vector/conf)
Forward {"message":"There were no error","level":"INFO"} and confirm .level is info
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Log severity is now detected regardless of letter case in structured log fields, including level=, Value:, and JSON level values. Existing severity precedence and syslog-style prefix matching are unchanged.
Uppercase tokens such as "level":"INFO" missed the structured matcher,
so the keyword scan tagged the line from an earlier severity word in
the message. Keep klog prefixes case-sensitive.

Structured severity matching is now case-insensitive in SetLogLevel and Vector transform configurations. Severity precedence, assignments, and existing syslog-style prefix matching remain unchanged.

Summary
Normalizer matching and tests internal/generator/vector/filter/openshift/viaq/v1/normalize.go, internal/generator/vector/filter/openshift/viaq/v1/normalize_test.go, internal/generator/vector/filter/openshift/viaq/v1/suite_test.go
SetLogLevel matches structured severity forms without regard to case. Tests cover severity matching across casing and klog-like prefixes. A test-suite entry point was added.
Some logs containing severity-like message text can be classified as errors instead of info. The impact is limited to affected messages and can be addressed as a follow-up.

Preserve the JSON level before matching Value: tokens.
For a non-audit raw log line containing {"message":"saw(Value:ERROR)","level":"info"}, the base stores .level as info. The case-insensitive head stores .level as error: the Value:ERROR text matches the earlier error branch before the "level":"info" branch. This violates structured-field precedence.

Update the severity matching logic in the non-audit normalization flow so a JSON
`"level"` field takes precedence over `Value:` tokens in the message. Ensure
`Value:` matching cannot override a structured level, while preserving the
existing fallback behavior when no JSON level is present.
Test the generated SetLogLevel flow, not only extracted patterns.
firstStructuredLevel evaluates only the attempt-4 regexes. It does not execute the attempt-5 keyword branch or assert the final ._internal.level. If the if level == "default" guard were removed, the keyword parser could overwrite structured INFO with error, while this table would still pass.
Add a test through the generated normalization flow that asserts ._internal.level is info for {"message":"There were no error","level":"INFO"}.

Extend the tests for the generated SetLogLevel normalization flow beyond
firstStructuredLevel, which only checks extracted patterns. Assert that
normalizing `{"message":"There were no error","level":"INFO"}` leaves
`._internal.level` as `info`, covering the keyword-parser guard against
overriding the structured level.

This covers the two unchecked test-plan boxes: make test-unit for the vector generator fixtures and live forwarding of {"message":"There were no error","level":"INFO"} — it is now stored as .levelinfo.
