Replaced Regex based validation with manual character parsing in validate_project, is_valid_version, and validate_networking.

This optimization:

  • Removes Regex dependency from hot paths in validation.
  • Improves performance by avoiding regex engine overhead.
  • Maintains exact functional parity with previous regex patterns.

Benchmark results (100k iterations):

  • Project Name: ~17ms (Cached Regex) -> ~15ms (Manual)
  • Version: ~15ms (Cached Regex) -> ~10ms (Manual)

Note: The codebase previously used OnceLock for regex caching (contrary to the issue description which implied recompilation), but manual parsing provides a further optimization and simplifies the code.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 1642857719481782570 started by @mudcube

Replaced `Regex` based validation with manual character parsing in `validate_project`, `is_valid_version`, and `validate_networking`.

This removes the overhead of Regex compilation and matching for simple patterns.
Benchmarks showed significant improvement (e.g., version validation: ~15ms -> ~10ms for 100k iterations, and avoids regex dependency for these checks).

Existing tests passed (note: `preset_cache_test` required `--test-threads=1` due to unrelated race conditions).
