Tibsfox 6d429da660 fix(milestone): replace test()+replace() with compare pattern to avoid global regex lastIndex bug (#1923)
The requirement marking function used test() then replace() on the
same global-flag regex. test() advances lastIndex, so replace() starts
from the wrong position and can miss the first match.

Replace with direct replace() + string comparison to detect changes.
Also drop unnecessary global flag from done-check patterns that only
need existence testing, and eliminate the duplicate regex construction
for the table pattern.

/**
* Regression tests for regex global state bug in milestone.cjs
*
* The original code used test() + replace() with global-flag regexes.
* test() advances lastIndex, so a subsequent replace() on the same
* regex object starts from the wrong position and can miss the match.
*
* The fix uses replace() directly and compares before/after to detect
* whether a substitution occurred, avoiding the lastIndex pitfall.
