gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 1m55s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped
fix(conformance): one regex made the merge gate take 28 minutes instead of 2
ha-control-plane-as-code/check.sh had:

  re.search(r"--server https://.*?\n(?:.*\n){0,10}?\s*when:...'secondary'",
            K3S_TEXT, re.S)

With re.S every `.` matches newlines, so `.*?` and the nested `(?:.*\n){0,10}?`
can each consume the whole document -- nested unbounded repetition, which
backtracks exponentially on a failed or late match. MEASURED in CI via
`docker top` on the live job container: python3 at 19:54 of CPU time, which is
essentially the entire ~28 minute gate.

Localised to the exact line by extracting the inline python and running it under
faulthandler.dump_traceback_later, which named re/__init__.py:177 in search from
this call -- not inferred from reading.

Replaced `.` with `[^\n]*` and dropped re.S, so the {0,10} is a real ten-line
window with nothing to backtrack into. On the real input (22,179 chars):
0.2 ms, match still found. Whole check: 0.199s, rc 0, 115 assertions, identical
success message.

WHY IT SURFACED NOW, AND IT WAS MINE: K3S_TEXT is every *.yml in
roles/k3s_server concatenated. The regex was latent for as long as it existed;
PR #71 added ~100 lines to that role (kubelet graceful-shutdown config), growing
the input past the point where exponential backtracking stopped being
survivable.

WHY ONLY infra/** WAS SLOW: touched-requirements.sh maps infra/* to R-ENV-01, so
the L0 run becomes --include-scope whole-repo --requirements R-ENV-01, which
selects this whole-repo check. Doc/platform changes never did -- #69 1m55s and
#72 1m53s stayed fast while #71 27m44s, the #73 merge 27m46s and #75 all ran
~28m.

The pattern is unique in the repo (grep over all l0-static check.sh files).
Not re-timed in CI post-fix; this PR's own run is the first datapoint.
