Subject: [PATCH] perf: pre-compile regex patterns in extract_json util
Compile THINK_PATTERN and FENCE_PATTERN at the module level to improve
the performance of extract_json by avoiding redundant regex compilation
during function calls.
Measured a ~5% performance improvement in an isolated benchmark.
- Baseline: 51.98 us/call
- Optimized: 49.26 us/call
