Subject: [PATCH] perf: Optimize cargo regex compilation with OnceLock

Replaced local Regex compilation in `parse_cargo_install_list` with a static `OnceLock<Regex>`.
This prevents recompiling the regex on every function call, resulting in a ~40x speedup for the function.

Benchmarks:
- Before: ~3.09s for 10,000 iterations
- After: ~0.077s for 10,000 iterations
