-- [ ] #1 Pins-first: wave-B pins spec (md + JSON) committed before implementation, incl. the duckdb-vs-rust-regex differential battery and the crate decision
-- [ ] #2 regexp_matches / regexp_full_match / regexp_extract / regexp_replace serve per pins (options strings, group semantics, backrefs, NULL handling); list/table forms classify clean
-- [ ] #3 Operators ~ / !~ and SIMILAR TO on values serve per pins (anchoring semantics measured, not assumed)
-- [ ] #4 Deferred star forms serve: * SIMILAR TO name filter (incl. the pinned NOT asymmetry) and COLUMNS('re') expansion
-- [ ] #5 Patterns whose semantics differ between RE2 and rust-regex classify clean-unsupported (guard at bind time from the pinned divergence list) — never a wrong answer
-- [ ] #6 Corpus replay: three-outcome contract holds, zero FAILs, match count reported
-- [ ] #7 Gate green both backends, clippy clean, serving-bench parity gate passes

+## Implementation Plan
+
+<!-- SECTION:PLAN:BEGIN -->
+Stages (each lands with tests + corpus replay green):
+1. Regex infrastructure: regex = "1" dep (RegexBuilder::octal(true), default Unicode — unicode(false) measured to BREAK (?i) parity); translation module (perl-class rewrite \d->(?-u:\d) etc incl. in-class variants, reject list: \B, (?<>), dup group names, bounds>1000, stacked quantifiers, \u, \Q\E; options parser c/i/l/s live, m/n/p no-ops, g replace-only; replacement translation \N->${N}, $->$$, with the out-of-range->identity and bad-escape global/non-global asymmetry resolved at BIND time); Program-level regex table; IR ops ReMatch/ReExtract/ReReplace + print/parse/verify + both backends.
+2. Functions + operators: regexp_matches (search) / regexp_full_match / regexp_extract (''-on-no-match, flat 0..9 group check) / regexp_replace; ~ / !~ = full match (NOT Postgres search!); SIMILAR TO = raw-pattern full match (no % translation); NULL rules incl. the options-arg asymmetry.
+3. Star forms: * SIMILAR TO (unanchored search) / NOT SIMILAR TO (NOT full match — independent predicates) via rewrite.rs marker codes; COLUMNS('re') interception + declared-order expansion.
+4. Census + bench parity + close-out + PR.
+Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-27-waveB-regexp-pins.md (pins committed b003122 before implementation).

+## Final Summary
+
+<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
+Wave B shipped: the regexp family, corpus 484 -> 505 bit-exact of 678 (zero wrong answers, zero replay FAILs). Pins-first: 6-agent fleet (5 DuckDB areas + the RE2-vs-rust-regex DIFFERENTIAL battery) committed as docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-27-waveB-regexp-pins.md + pins-waveB/*.json before implementation.
+
+The engine is the rust `regex` crate (new direct dependency) behind the measured parity recipe: RegexBuilder::octal(true) + default Unicode mode (unicode(false) was measured to BREAK (?i) folding parity — the 'obvious' fix is the wrong one), a bind-time Perl-class rewrite in retrans.rs (\d -> (?-u:\d) etc, in-class variants included) closing the whole RE2-ASCII-vs-rust-Unicode gap, a reject list for irreconcilables (\B unservable in DuckDB itself, (?<name>), duplicate group names, bounds > 1000, stacked quantifiers a*+ — silently WRONG in rust, not just error-shaped different, \u, \Q\E), and replacement-template translation with RE2's invalid-rewrite quirks resolved at bind (out-of-range backref = identity; global bad escape = consume-with-prefix). With that applied all 98 differential battery entries were byte-identical or identically-rejected.
+
+Infrastructure: Program grew a prepare-time regex table (print/parse round-trips it; verify checks indices and rewrite presence); ReMatch/ReExtract/ReReplace on both backends (interp closures own their compiled Regex; cranelift helpers read a CompiledRe table through Cx). Semantics per pins: regexp_matches = unanchored SEARCH, regexp_full_match / ~ / !~ / SIMILAR TO = FULL match (~ is NOT the Postgres search — the DuckDB binder error names regexp_full_match; SIMILAR TO translates NO wildcards), regexp_extract '' on no-match with the flat 0..9 group check and NULL-group -> '', regexp_replace backslash backrefs with $-literals and the NULL-options -> NULL asymmetry, options alphabet c/i/l/s live with m/n/p as measured no-ops, constant patterns compile at prepare (pinned eagerness). Star forms: * SIMILAR TO = unanchored name search, * NOT SIMILAR TO = NOT full-match (independent predicates — pinned non-complement asymmetry), bare COLUMNS('re')/COLUMNS(*) expand in declared order with alias stamping into the wave-5 dedup. List-valued forms (extract_all, split_to_array) and COLUMNS-in-expression stay clean-unsupported.
+
+Gate: 154 Rust + 557 py green, interp backend identical (548 minus the backend-identity guards), clippy clean on wave files, serving-bench parity gate passed with spec in the usual 1.4-2x band. Remaining pool after the wave: aggregation 45 + table-fns 24 (out of scope), lists/structs 25 (wave C), dynamic self-joins 10, small tails.
