Research direction

Start by locating the KeyValueProcessor implementation and its existing value-split handling, then compare the requested whitespace behavior with the linked Logstash documentation. Identify how processor options are configured and where related tests live. Done means the processor supports an explicit lenient or strict whitespace option with coverage for surrounding whitespace cases.
