feat(stdlib): add baml.regex

[hellovai]

Implements the Regex BEP: regular expressions for recognizing, extracting, and rewriting structured text, so text processing that today has to leave BAML for a host language can stay in one program.

What you can write now

// Compile once, reuse freely. A `Regex` holds no scan position.
let date = baml.regex.compile("\\b\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}\\b");
date.match_all(document).map((m: baml.regex.Match) -> string { m.text })

// Extraction with captures and codepoint offsets that feed `slice` directly.
let m = baml.regex.compile("(?<y>\\d{4})-(\\d{2})").match("on 2026-01 x");
m?.named.get("y")   // Group { text: "2026", start: 3, end: 7 }
document.slice(m?.start ?? 0, m?.end ?? 0)

// Whole-string match, without the `^a|b$` trap (that anchors each
// alternative separately, and under `(?m)` anchors mean line boundaries).
baml.regex.compile("<<END:\\s*(\\d+)>>").exact_match(marker)

// Split that keeps captured delimiters; `(?:...)` opts out.
baml.regex.compile("(<<\\d+>>)").split(transcript)   // ["a", "<<1>>", "b"]

// `string.replace` / `replace_all` take a pattern or a literal, and a
// template or a callback.
"5 cm".replace(baml.regex.compile("(\\d+) cm"), "${1}mm")            // "5mm"
template.replace_all(baml.regex.compile("\\{\\{(.*?)\\}\\}"), expand)

// Dynamic terms are literals, always. `word` escapes and adds boundaries
// in one step, so a term from a correction list cannot become syntax.
text.replace_all(baml.regex.word(term, ignore_case = true), adapt)
baml.regex.compile(`<${baml.regex.escape(tag)}>(.*?)</${baml.regex.escape(tag)}>`)

The three things worth knowing

1. The default dialect cannot catastrophically backtrack. compile(pattern) uses the regex crate, whose matching time is bounded by pattern × haystack. That is safe for a pattern from a user, a config file, or an agent. .*.*=.* — the shape that took down Cloudflare's WAF in 2019 — is not even an error to write here; it just answers in bounded time.

Lookaround, backreferences, and recursive subroutines need an explicit opt-in:

baml.regex.compile("\\d+(?= USD)", backtracking = true)       // lookahead
baml.regex.compile("(?<=USD )\\d+", backtracking = true)      // lookbehind
baml.regex.compile("\\b(\\w+)\\s+\\1\\b", backtracking = true) // repeated word
baml.regex.compile("(?<p>\\((?:[^()]|\\g<p>)*\\))", backtracking = true) // nesting, depth 20

That mode is fancy-regex, and it gives up the time bound — the flag is the trust decision, made at the call site rather than inferred from what the pattern happens to contain. A construct the default dialect refuses is reported as Unsupported, not Syntax, so the message points at the opt-in instead of sending you hunting for a typo:

error[E0171]: unsupported regex construct at character 3: look-around, including
look-ahead and look-behind, is not supported; `backtracking = true` enables
lookahead, lookbehind, backreferences, and subroutine calls, at the cost of the
default dialect's matching-time bound

(It knows the difference by handing the rejected pattern to the backtracking engine and seeing whether that one accepts it.)

2. A constant pattern is checked when your program is compiled. Not when the line runs:

baml.regex.compile("(unclosed")
//                 ^ error[E0171]: invalid regex pattern at character 0: unclosed group

baml.regex.compile("\bword\b")
//                 ^ error[E0171]: this pattern contains a backspace character (U+0008):
//                   `\b` in a string literal is a backspace, not a word boundary. Write
//                   `\\b` for a word boundary, or `\x08` for the backspace character itself

That last one is the trap the BEP calls out: BAML decodes "\b" as U+0008, so a single-backslash pattern silently means something else. A dynamically built pattern is still checked at construction and throws baml.regex.Error with a kind, a message, and a codepoint span.

Both roads go through the same code, so they cannot drift.

3. Once a Regex exists, matching it does not throw. Compilation is the only step that can reject a pattern. is_match / match / match_all / exact_match / split are total, pure, and stateless — no /g-style lastIndex, so sharing one Regex across calls or fibers is safe. A replacement callback can still throw its own error, and that type flows through E precisely: passing a plain string infers throws never.

What is here

crates/sys_regex	New crate. Both engines, the dialect split, error classification, word boundary construction, byte→codepoint conversion. Shared so the compiler and the VM agree exactly.
baml_std/baml/ns_regex/regex.baml	Group, Match, ErrorKind, Error, Regex, compile, word, escape.
bex_vm/src/package_baml/regex.rs	Marshalling only: Value in, Value out.
baml_std/baml/string.baml	replace / replace_all take string | Regex and string | callback. The literal/literal path stays the same native call, so "a".replace_all("$1", …) still means what it did.
baml_compiler2_hir_ty	The constant-pattern check (E0171), on the same sys_regex::Program::compile the runtime uses.
parser / syntax / fmt / codegen	match accepted as a member and function name so re.match(haystack) parses. It stays a keyword everywhere else — the change is only after a . and after function, the two positions where a match expression cannot begin.

Notes for review

• match as a method name is the one language-surface change. It follows the existing precedent for implements / extends / client, and touches five name-position tables (parser, syntax AST, expr lowering, formatter, builtin codegen) rather than the keyword set.
• Defaults on a native function. A $rust_function body has no prologue to evaluate a default in, so compile / word are thin BAML wrappers over _compile / _word — the public signature is exactly what the BEP specifies.
• A backtracking search that exhausts its budget panics (baml.panics.UserPanic) rather than reporting "no match". Silently turning a resource limit into a wrong answer seemed worse; only a backtracking = true pattern can reach it.
• Two deviations from the BEP, both narrowing: word is not statically checked (it escapes its literal, so its argument is text, not syntax), and Error.message is the engine's one-line reason rather than its multi-line caret block, since span_start/span_end already carry the position.
• Not included: regex literal syntax (/.../), which the BEP explicitly defers.

Testing

• crates/baml_tests/baml_src/ns_regex/ — 56 pure-BAML runtime tests: matching, captures and non-participating groups, offsets under multi-byte input, exact_match vs hand-anchoring, split with and without captured delimiters, word's boundary rule, statelessness, the backtracking opt-in including recursion and its depth limit, and all four search × replacement combinations of replace / replace_all with their empty-search parity.
• crates/baml_tests/projects/diagnostic_errors/regex_constant_pattern/ — E0171 snapshot, including the cases that must not be reported (a valid pattern, an opted-in one, a dynamic one, a computed dialect).
• crates/sys_regex unit tests — the engine seam: dialect classification, message condensing, anchoring under (?m), word boundaries, batched offset conversion.
• The full cargo test -p baml_tests --lib snapshot suite (957) passes locally; the heavier integration binaries are left to CI. cargo clippy and clippy --target wasm32-unknown-unknown are clean on every crate touched.

One thing this surfaced but did not cause: xs.map(f) catch (e) { let b: Boom => … } warns "unreachable arm" whenever an inferred-effect call shares an expression with another effect. It reproduces on plain Array.map on canary, so it is left alone here; the one test that hit it hoists the compile out of the catch and says why.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b9d56

This PR adds regex support and an explicitly opt-in backtracking mode, but valid match members may still fail to compile and one replacement test would not catch a first-versus-all regression; backtracking can also consume substantial CPU in less-trusted programs. Merge should wait for the compilation issue and test coverage gap to be fixed or explicitly accepted, with owner awareness of the conditional runtime cost.

134-134: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make the first-match assertion able to fail.

upper maps the match "X" back to "X", so the expected value equals the input. This assertion passes even if replace replaces every match, or replaces nothing. Only the replace_all assertion below it covers first-versus-all behavior on the literal + callback path.

Use a callback whose output differs from the match, as the replace_all case already does.

-    assert.equal("aXbXc".replace("X", upper), "aXbXc");

+        "aXbXc".replace("X", (m: baml.regex.Match) -> string {

Inline comments:
In `@baml_language/crates/baml_builtins2/keyword_docs/ts_keywords.yaml`:
- Line 107: The regex documentation message incorrectly presents replace and
replace_all as Regex methods; update it to state that string.replace and
string.replace_all perform replacement using a Regex search, while preserving
the existing match/match_all and compilation guidance.

In `@baml_language/crates/baml_compiler_parser/src/parser.rs`:
- Around line 551-555: Update the allowlist in parse_path_or_ident to accept
TokenKind::Match as a qualified path segment, matching the existing
kind_is_member_name behavior, so baml.regex.Regex.match(haystack) reaches
at_member_name() successfully. Add a Rust parser unit test covering this fully
qualified call.
- Around line 4168-4170: Update parse_interface_method’s method-name allowlist
to accept TokenKind::Match, matching the existing parse_function behavior so
required declarations such as function match(...) -> T parse successfully. Add a
Rust unit test covering a no-body interface method named match.

Apply the same fix in `@baml_language/crates/baml_compiler_syntax/src/ast.rs`
around lines 938 - 939: This is the corresponding syntax-AST name filter for
required interface methods.

3727-3727: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use is_member_name_token in both member-name lowerers.

The parser accepts KW_MATCH after .. lower_qualified_path_expr still uses is_ident_token, so (value as Interface).match(...) lowers to Expr::Missing. lower_optional_field_access_expr uses the same predicate, so value?.match(...) lowers the member as _. Replace both filters with is_member_name_token. Add Rust unit coverage and run cargo test --lib.

5114-5127: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Check is_regex_compile before cloning the pattern string.

report_constant_regex_pattern runs on every call expression in the program (it is invoked unconditionally from infer_call). For any call whose first, or "pattern"-labeled, argument is a string literal — not only baml.regex.compile calls — this function extracts the literal and calls pattern.clone() before checking self.is_regex_compile(callee). Every such non-regex call (for example, any function taking a string literal as its first argument) pays for an unnecessary String allocation on this hot compiler path.

Move the is_regex_compile check before extracting and cloning the pattern, so only actual baml.regex.compile calls pay the allocation cost.
