WebToolArcBefore reusing a regular expression
keeps the established regex widgets and worker-guarded execution paths intact while connecting testing, explanation, extraction, replacement, test cases, static risk review, and code generation. Pattern data stays in the browser, and the shared inspector can save an explicit pattern locally.
Regex flavor and performance boundaries
Interactive checks follow the JavaScript RegExp implementation available in the current browser unless a tool explicitly says otherwise. Token explanations and backtracking warnings are bounded static guidance, not PCRE/Python/.NET compatibility, formal complexity analysis, or proof that a pattern is safe for every possible input.
