Each tag in build_cfg() was generating its own terminal rule (M_i), even when multiple tags shared identical regex patterns. This created redundant grammar rules, particularly problematic for the common `/(?s:.*)/" default pattern.

Changes

  • Terminal naming: M_i (per-tag) → T_i (per-unique-pattern)
  • Deduplication: Track unique patterns via unique_pattern_terminals dict
  • Reuse: Tags with identical regex reference the same terminal
  • Documentation: Updated docstring example to reflect new T_i terminal naming

Impact

10 tags with default pattern: 10 terminals → 1 terminal (90% reduction)

# Before
m_0[capture, suffix="<|/MASKED|>"]: M_0
m_1[capture, suffix="<|/MASKED|>"]: M_1  
M_0: /(?s:.*)/
M_1: /(?s:.*)/  # duplicate

# After
m_0[capture, suffix="<|/MASKED|>"]: T_0
m_1[capture, suffix="<|/MASKED|>"]: T_0  # reuse
T_0: /(?s:.*)/  # single definition

Testing

Updated test expectations and added comprehensive test case for terminal reuse with complex patterns:

  • Multiple tags sharing the same date pattern (\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}) correctly reuse terminal T_0
  • Multiple tags sharing the same time pattern (\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}) correctly reuse terminal T_1
  • Verifies that 4 tags with 2 unique patterns create only 2 terminals (instead of 4)

All tests verify that the optimization maintains correctness while improving efficiency.

@copilot Add new test cases to reflect this change

- test_build_cfg_single_tag_no_reuse: Edge case with single tag
- test_build_cfg_all_unique_patterns: All tags with different patterns
- test_build_cfg_many_tags_same_pattern: High reuse scenario with 10 tags
- test_build_cfg_complex_regex_patterns: Complex regex with special chars
- test_build_cfg_terminal_reuse_validates: Validation check for reused terminals

@copilot Add new test cases to reflect this change

Added 5 additional test cases in commit 1dcc04b:

  1. test_build_cfg_single_tag_no_reuse - Edge case with single tag
  2. test_build_cfg_all_unique_patterns - All tags with different patterns (no reuse)
  3. test_build_cfg_many_tags_same_pattern - High reuse scenario with 10 tags (90% reduction)
  4. test_build_cfg_complex_regex_patterns - Complex patterns with special characters (dates, times)
  5. test_build_cfg_terminal_reuse_validates - Grammar validation check for reused terminals

All 9 tests pass (4 original + 5 new).

Pull request overview

Improves build_cfg() performance by reusing LLGuidance terminal rules when multiple tags share the same content regex, reducing redundant grammar output (especially for the default /(?s:.*)/ pattern).

Changes:

  • Switch terminal naming from per-tag (M_i) to per-unique-pattern (T_i).
  • Deduplicate identical regex patterns via a unique_pattern_terminals mapping and reuse terminals across tags.
  • Update build_cfg() tests and the build_cfg() docstring example to match the new grammar output.
