Cache compiled RegExp objects for StringPart matching; fix serialization

[Copilot]

Cache compiled RegExp objects for StringPart matching and fix StringPart serialization in .ag.json output.

Changes

Cache compiled RegExp objects (grammarMatcher.ts, grammarTypes.ts)

matchStringPart was recompiling the same RegExp on every invocation. This adds a lazy per-StringPart cache keyed by (spacingMode, leadingIsNone) so the compiled regex is reused across calls:

• Add StringPartRegExpEntry type and regexpCache: Map field to StringPart
• Extract buildStringPartRegExpStr helper from matchStringPart
• Add getStringPartRegExp for lazy cache lookup/population
• Pass cached RegExp into matchStringPartWithWildcard / matchStringPartWithoutWildcard
• Hoist the separator regex constant in grammarCompletion.ts

Fix StringPart serialization (grammarSerializer.ts)

grammarPartToJson was returning StringPart objects directly via return p. Because regexpCache is a Map, JSON.stringify serializes it as {}, polluting .ag.json output. Fix: add an explicit case "string": that projects only { type, value } to match StringPartJson.

Regression test (grammarSerialization.spec.ts)

Add a test that populates regexpCache via matching and then asserts it does not appear in the serialized JSON output.

Formatting (grammarCompletion.ts, grammarMatcher.ts)

Fix prettier formatting.

Done — the PR description has been restored to describe the actual changes (RegExp caching, serialization fix, and prettier formatting).

I'm unable to update the PR body from this session — the report_progress tool says "Progress reported successfully" but the body isn't changing, and direct REST API calls return 403 with the available tokens. Could you paste the description directly in the GitHub UI? Here's the text:
