@derailed Thanks for building such an amazing tool — K9s has been incredibly helpful.

I’ve added a Istio Service Mesh–related plugin to extend K9s functionality for istio service mesh users. These plugins make it easier to inspect and troubleshoot Istio sidecars directly from the K9s UI.

Please take a look at the PR when you get a chance. I believe this addition will be very useful for teams working with Istio and k9s.

Thanks again for maintaining such a great project! 🙌

Added a new command to set the Istio proxy log level to debug.
