The brace scanner knew about strings and comments but had no case for regex
literals. A quote inside one opened a phantom string that swallowed every brace
until the next quote; a lone `{` or `}` inside one miscounted block depth. Both
failed the component with "Unbalanced braces" pointing at the block's first line.
`/-/g` parsed fine, which is why this went unnoticed -- it needs a quote or a
brace inside the pattern to bite.
Regex-vs-division is decided by scanning back to the last significant
character, erring towards division: mistaking division for a regex would
swallow code to the next `/` and lose any braces between. A regex cannot span a
newline, so an unterminated one on the line is treated as "not a regex", which
is what keeps a bare URL in view text intact.

diagnostics. Framework tooling should import this package instead of implementing a
separate .wrn parser.
