On the GCP source plugin, is there an issue with the `project_filter` spec option? I’m trying to use it to ignore all projects that start with `sys-` and it doesn’t seem to work:

```auto
project_filter: "NOT name:sys-*"

```

We have an open issue for that: [GitHub - cloudquery/cloudquery](https://github.com/cloudquery/cloudquery/issues/11165). I would suggest upvoting it as we prioritize based on community feedback.
