Subject: [PATCH] Add pager message filtering (closes #40)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add ability to filter out unwanted pager messages from display:
- Hide "Tone Only" messages by default (toggle in UI)
- Custom keyword filter (comma-separated list)
- Filtered messages are still logged and counted, just hidden from view
- Filter settings persist in localStorage
