       caller may hold one node object at two positions, where the cached depth and path are
       another node's. `0.1.0` ships with the retry in it, so a deep document is slow rather than
       wrong until the patch.
+- [ ] **4c — The scanning rule's remaining sites (`0.1.1`).** A trailing-anchored regex re-walks
+      its run from every start position, so an interior whitespace run costs quadratic time rather
+      than linear — 3h measured 80k spaces inside an ATX heading at 11.3s, and 3ms once the walk
+      replaced the regex. Three sites the same sweep did not reach: `normalizeLabel` in
+      `link-syntax.ts`, whose shortcut-reference input is `scan.source.slice(...)` rather than the
+      999-capped `readLabel` value, and two in `emit/inline-line.ts`. The fix is the one 3h used —
+      an index walk, `trimTrailingSpace` where the ends match. §11's scanning rule is the whole
+      argument; the pipeline persona feeds documents nobody typed.
