Produces JavaScript regex pattern source, without slash delimiters or flags.
Limits: 16,384 pattern code units, 200,000 text code units, 2,000 matches or split parts, and 4,000,000 output code units. User regex execution requires a local worker with a 1,500 ms timeout. Oversized results fail rather than being truncated.
