+- **SQL reference extraction is less likely to drop matches under full-suite CPU contention (#2949)** - bounded regex matching now keeps a larger but still finite default timeout, reducing intermittent missed SQL references during heavily loaded test and indexing runs.

+- **full-suite の CPU 競合下で SQL reference 抽出が match を落としにくくなりました (#2949)** - bounded regex matching の既定 timeout を、有限のまま余裕を持たせた値に変更し、高負荷なテスト実行や index 実行中に SQL reference が断続的に欠ける問題を減らしました。
