💡 What: The optimization implements a manual single-pass string parser using a StringBuilder in HintExtractor.kt, eliminating five separate Regex variables that parsed strings via .replace() and .matches().

🎯 Why: The original implementation allocated numerous intermediate strings as it mutated strings with sequential Regex.replace and Regex.matches operations. In Kotlin Multiplatform (e.g. JVM/WasmJs), replacing regex parsing pipelines with native string loops and indexing is highly optimized, removing compilation, state-machine tracking overheads, and backtracking limits.

📊 Impact: Heavily improves execution performance by compiling the pipeline into a simple array loop, greatly reducing GC pressure via reduced string allocations, especially helpful given this file processes user strings in a hot path.

🔬 Measurement: To verify the improvement, run the unit test module using ./gradlew :halogen-engine:test focusing on the module's HintExtractorTest.kt.

Closing this in favor of #74, which curates the parser hot-path changes without the generated .jules/bolt.md metadata and covers the duplicate HintExtractor/SchemaParser optimization work in one PR.
