Research direction

No repository file, test, or entry point is named, and the original generated code is unavailable. Start by obtaining a reproducible C++ example from the reported VS Code workflow; done would require confirming that the generated std::regex code compiles and preserves the intended regular expression.

Feedback

From customer:

It generated code using std::regex, but generated the regular expressions broken: it mixed up the parenthesis brackets and escaped quotes all up so it wouldn't compile. It wasn't too bad to manually fix, but... still. I wish I had kept them around before fixing them.
