💡 What: The optimization implemented was hoisting Regex("""\s+""") to a private val property WHITESPACE in HintExtractor.kt.
🎯 Why: Creating a Regex instance dynamically within a function call compiles the pattern every time, which generates unnecessary CPU overhead and garbage collection in hot paths.
📊 Impact: Eliminates regex compilation cost per extract invocation, saving memory and decreasing execution time.
🔬 Measurement: Verify the static property definition and test regressions via ./gradlew :halogen-engine:test.

Extracts the `\s+` regex allocation from within the `HintExtractor.extract` method to a static `WHITESPACE` property to eliminate recompilation overhead on each invocation.
