Closes#17384.
## Summary
Drops a dead `re.I` flag from two outlier delimiter-parsing sites and
adds regression tests so the inconsistency can't creep back.
## What's wrong
Two of the six delimiter-parsing implementations pass `re.I` to
`re.finditer`:
- `rag/nlp/__init__.py::get_delimiters` (line 1633)
- `deepdoc/parser/txt_parser.py::parser_txt` (line 51)
The other four implementations correctly omit `re.I`:
- `rag/nlp/__init__.py::naive_merge` custom-delimiter path (line 1195)
- `rag/nlp/__init__.py::naive_merge_with_images` custom-delimiter path
(line 1269)
- `rag/nlp/__init__.py::_build_cks` (line 1389)
- `rag/flow/chunker/token_chunker.py` (line 73)
## Why this matters (and why it doesn't break anything)
The flag is **dead code** today. Verified empirically with a Python
REPL:
```python
>>> import re
>>> for m in re.finditer(r"`([^`]+)`", "`end`", re.I):
... print(repr(m.group(1)))
'end' # plain string, no flag attached
>>> re.split("(a)", "Class A is a Sample")
['Cl', 'a', '', 's', ' A i', 's', ' a Sample']
# Case-sensitive: only lowercase 'a' splits. Uppercase 'A' is preserved.
```
`re.I` does not propagate from `re.finditer` to `m.group(1)` or to
downstream `re.split` / `re.match` calls (which all omit `re.I`). So the
actual splitting behavior has always been case-sensitive — removing the
flag is a **defensive cleanup**, not a behavioral fix.
So why bother?
1. **Consistency** — the two sites were the only outliers in a six-way
implementation cluster. The three sibling sites in `rag/nlp/__init__.py`
already omit `re.I`, which strongly suggests the flag was accidental.
2. **Future-proofing** — a refactor could easily propagate the flag to a
downstream `re.split` call where it *would* change behavior. The tests
added here pin the case-sensitive semantics so that regression fails
loudly.
3. **Reader clarity** — the flag is misleading. Anyone reading
`re.finditer(..., re.I)` reasonably assumes case-insensitive matching,
then has to trace all downstream calls to discover it's a no-op.
## Changes
- `rag/nlp/__init__.py` — drop `re.I` from `get_delimiters` (line 1633).
- `deepdoc/parser/txt_parser.py` — drop `re.I` from `parser_txt` (line
51).
- `test/unit_test/rag/test_delimiter_case_sensitive.py` — new test file
with:
- 4 behavioral tests on `get_delimiters` (pattern output + `re.split`
round-trip).
- 3 end-to-end tests through `naive_merge` (bare-char +
backtick-wrapped, both cases).
- 2 parametrized static checks that `re.I` / `re.IGNORECASE` is not
present at either of the two `re.finditer` sites.
## Testing
```
$ pytest test/unit_test/rag/test_delimiter_case_sensitive.py -v
============================= 9 passed in 0.19s ==============================
```
All tests pass on the patched code. Before the patch, the 2 static
checks fail with a clear assertion message (the 7 behavioral tests pass
either way, confirming `re.I` was dead code).
## Related
- #17384 — the issue this PR closes. Note the issue's reproduction code
(`re.split(..., flags=re.I)`) doesn't actually match what the production
code does — the production `re.split` calls all omit `re.I`, which is
why current behavior is already case-sensitive. The fix here is still
valuable as a defensive cleanup + test coverage, but it's not a
behavioral fix per se.
- #17383 — broader parser consolidation (six implementations → one). The
fix here is independent and small enough to land first.
- #17385 — sibling UX PR (tooltip + live preview). Files are disjoint
(`web/src/**` vs `rag/nlp/**` + `deepdoc/parser/**`), so no interaction.

### What problem does this PR solve?
When multiple columns are used as content columns in RDBMS connector,
the generated document text gets chunked by TxtParser which strips
newline delimiters during merge. This causes field names and values from
different columns to be concatenated without any separator, making the
content unreadable.
Changes:
- txt_parser.py: restore newline separator when merging adjacent text
segments within a chunk, so that split sections are not directly
concatenated
- rdbms_connector.py: use double newline between fields and place field
value on a new line after the field name bracket, giving TxtParser
clearer boundaries to work with
