Four regexes rescanned a long whitespace or blank-line run from every
position, so a document ending in blank lines or carrying a large masked
comment block took seconds instead of milliseconds:
- the sentence splitter behind highlight regions, replaced with a
single-pass scan that yields the same spans as the former regex
- its boundary-whitespace trim in rendered-Markdown mode, now trimStart
and trimEnd arithmetic instead of a `\s*$` match
- the Markdown table delimiter test, now run on the trimmed line
- the line-anchored `Interesting part:` opener, whose leading `\s*`
crossed newlines under /m and is now `[ \t]*`
The #190 fixture still scaled quadratically after #196 because masked
comments become whitespace, which the sentence splitter then choked on.
64000 masked comments now analyze in under a second.
Regression tests compare sentence boundaries against the former regex on
every boundary shape and assert linear growth by ratio rather than by a
wall-clock budget. Bundled detector copies regenerated.

Run maskCode once per document and advance a single comment-open scan.
Refresh code or list-aware views only when a removed comment contained
backticks or list markers, preserving #123 edge cases.

The guard script already derives counts from references/patterns.md;
update the CI step label, promo-drift issue text, and .ssot.yaml
diagram so contributor-facing docs match the implementation.
Remove the nonexistent marketing boost from patterns.js comments.
Document all four accepted modes in CATEGORIES.md; only technical
changes flagging today. Regenerate mirrored detector copies.

CONTRIBUTING.md explains when to bump the README pattern-category
bullet and the checked CLAUDE.md literal. The PR template adds a
matching checklist item. CLAUDE.md clarifies README as canonical
and its own quote as a CI-checked copy.
