* perf!: add LRU caches for compiled regex and glob patterns
Add bounded LRU caches for compiled regex and glob patterns used by
Rego builtins, avoiding repeated recompilation of the same patterns
during policy evaluation.
New `cache` feature (included in `full-opa` and `opa-no-std`) backed by
the `lru` crate (no_std compatible) with `spin::Mutex` for thread safety.
- `src/cache.rs`: generic `LruCache<V>` wrapper, global `REGEX_CACHE`
(default capacity 256) and `GLOB_CACHE` (default capacity 128)
- `src/builtins/regex.rs`: all regex builtins route through the cache
- `src/builtins/glob.rs`: glob.match routes through the cache
- Public API: `regorus::cache::{Config, configure, clear}`
Compilation costs avoided per cache hit:
regex 10-55 µs (simple to complex patterns)
glob 10-12 µs
LRU hit ~10 ns
BREAKING CHANGE: new `cache` Cargo feature added to `full-opa` and
`opa-no-std` feature sets; adds `lru` as a dependency.

* perf(vm): amortize per-instruction memory and time limit checks
Deduplicate per-instruction memory_check calls by hoisting them to the
main dispatch loop, and amortize monotonic_now() syscalls in the
execution timer by checking elapsed time every N instructions instead
of on every tick.

* fix(vm): correct object membership to check values only, not keys
The Contains instruction for objects was checking both keys and values:
object_fields.contains_key(v) || object_fields.values().any(|v| ...)
Per the Rego specification, `x in obj` tests whether x is a VALUE of
the object, not a key. The two-argument form `k, v in obj` is needed
to access keys. The interpreter already implemented this correctly
(values-only scan), but the RVM had the extra contains_key() check
which would incorrectly return true when the search value happened to
match a key name.
Remove the contains_key() branch so the behavior matches the interpreter
and the Rego spec. Add two regression tests:
- object_membership_checks_values_not_keys: "foo" in {"foo": "bar"}
must be false (key, not a value)
- object_membership_finds_value: "bar" in {"foo": "bar"} must be true

* perf(compiler): hoist all-constant collection literals to the literal table
When an array, set, or object literal consists entirely of compile-time
constant expressions (numbers, strings, bools, null, and nested constant
collections), the compiler now evaluates them at compile time and emits a
single Load instruction from the literal table instead of generating
per-element instructions at runtime.
Previously, a Rego expression like `x in [1, 2, 3]` would emit
ArrayCreate + three Load + three ArrayAppend instructions, allocating a
new Vec and Rc on every evaluation. With this change, the entire array
is built once during compilation and loaded as a single constant.
This optimization applies to all three collection types:
- Array literals: avoids ArrayCreate + N x (Load + ArrayAppend)
- Set literals: avoids SetCreate + N x (Load + SetAdd)
- Object literals: avoids ObjectCreate + N x (Load + Load + ObjectInsert)
The implementation adds a try_eval_const() helper that recursively
evaluates an AST expression as a constant Value, returning None if any
sub-expression is non-constant. Each compile method for collection
literals attempts the all-constant fast path first and falls through to
the existing instruction-by-instruction codegen otherwise.

* perf(compiler): fuse Eq + AssertCondition into AssertEq instruction
Add a new `AssertEq { left, right }` instruction that combines equality
comparison and condition assertion into a single operation. This replaces
the previous two-instruction pattern of `Eq { dest, left, right }` followed
by `AssertCondition { condition: dest }`, saving one instruction and one
register per equality assertion.
The fused instruction checks two registers for equality and directly calls
handle_condition with the result, avoiding the intermediate boolean
register entirely. If either operand is undefined or the values differ,
the condition fails and the rule/loop backtracks.
The optimization applies to four destructuring sites:
- EqualityCheck (assignment re-binding with `x = expr; x = expr`)
- EqualityExpr (destructuring against an expression)
- EqualityValue (destructuring against a literal value)
- assert_array_length (array length validation in destructuring)
In soft_assert_mode the compiler still emits the original Eq instruction
since the boolean result register is needed by callers.

* perf(compiler): fuse Not + AssertCondition into AssertNot instruction
Add a new `AssertNot { operand }` instruction that combines logical
negation and condition assertion into a single operation. This replaces
the previous two-instruction pattern of `Not { dest, operand }` followed
by `AssertCondition { condition: dest }`, saving one instruction and one
register allocation.
The fused instruction checks the operand register and passes the
condition if the value is false or undefined (per Rego semantics where
`not expr` succeeds when the expression has no results or is false),
and fails the condition if the value is true or any non-boolean truthy
value.
This was the only emission site for the Not+AssertCondition pair,
occurring in the compilation of `Literal::NotExpr` statements.

* perf(vm): early exit for same-value multi-definition rules
When a rule has multiple definitions that all produce the same value

* feat!: expose cache configuration API to all language bindings
Add `set_cache_config` and `clear_cache` functions to every binding
so callers can tune or reset the global regex/glob pattern caches
introduced in the cache feature.
Bindings updated:
- FFI (C): `regorus_set_cache_config`, `regorus_clear_cache`
- C++ header: free functions `regorus::set_cache_config`, `regorus::clear_cache`
- Python: module-level `set_cache_config(*, regex, glob)`, `clear_cache()`
- Java: static methods on new `CacheConfig` class
- Go: package-level `SetCacheConfig`, `ClearCache`
- Ruby: module functions `Regorus.set_cache_config`, `Regorus.clear_cache`
- WASM: free functions `setCacheConfig`, `clearCache`
- C#: static methods `Engine.SetCacheConfig`, `Engine.ClearCache`
BREAKING CHANGE: Bump SERIALIZATION_VERSION from 4 to 5 due to new
AssertEq and AssertNot instruction variants added in the instruction
fusion commits. Programs serialized with version 5 cannot be loaded
by older versions of regorus.
* fix: address PR review feedback
Cache subsystem:
- Gate REGEX_CACHE and related imports behind #[cfg(feature = "regex")]
so that building with --features cache without regex compiles correctly.
- Gate LruCache struct behind #[cfg(any(feature = "regex", feature = "glob"))].
- Add Config::MAX_CAPACITY (2^16) hard upper bound; clamp values in
configure() to prevent unbounded cache growth.
- Use parking_lot::Mutex for std builds and spin::Mutex for no_std to
avoid CPU spinning under contention in tight regex/glob eval loops.
- Narrow lock scopes in regex/glob builtins: release the mutex before
compiling a pattern, then re-acquire to insert.
Java JNI binding:
- Fix cache config overflow: negative jlong values now saturate to 0
and positive overflow saturates to usize::MAX (then clamped by
MAX_CAPACITY) instead of silently disabling the cache.
- Gate JNI cache config/clear functions behind #[cfg(feature = "cache")].
Compiler:
- Refactor static_value_of_expr to delegate to try_eval_const,
gaining support for negated numbers and constant collections.
- Make try_eval_const pub(in crate::languages::rego::compiler) and
re-export through expressions.rs.
- Handle Expr::UnaryExpr with numeric literals in try_eval_const so
collections containing negated numbers (e.g. [-1, 2]) are hoisted.
VM correctness:
- Fix Not instruction to follow Rego semantics: not expr yields
true when expr is undefined or false, false for any other defined
value (including non-booleans) -- no longer errors on non-boolean
operands.
- Add enforce_memory_check() call at execute_suspendable_entry to
ensure memory limits are checked before the first instruction.
- Update AssertNot listing comment to "exit if any defined truthy
value" to match actual VM behaviour.
- Add doc comment on Not instruction clarifying Rego negation
semantics.
Bindings:
- Fix C++ header indentation for set_cache_config / clear_cache.
- Propagate Cargo.lock parking_lot addition across ffi, java, python,
and wasm binding lockfiles.

Policy evaluation at scale needs to be able to set memory limits
so that a bad policy does not hog memory or to ensure that
policy evaluation itself does not use too much memory which could
cause other components to suffer.
This PR introduces capability to set and enforce global memory limits.
It also lays the groundwork for enabling per evaluation limits in future.
Once a global memory limit is set, Regorus maintains per thread counters
to track memory activity (allocation, deallocation) of a thread.
These counters are periodically flushed to global memory counters.
Per thread counters avoid the contention that updating global counters
on each alloc/free would cause.
Policy evaluation periodically checks these counters and raises errors
if allocated memory has exceeded the configured limit.
Currently memory limit capability is exposed only to FFI and C#.
Also update mimalloc to v2.2.6

* build: Add xtask automation for binding version management
Introduces a dedicated xtask crate that keeps language binding versions
in sync with the core regorus crate, following the workflow pattern used
by rust-analyzer, gitoxide, and ripgrep.
Key features:
- Git-based change detection: compares binding source files against a
base ref (merge-base with origin/main by default) plus unstaged/
untracked files to identify which bindings have been modified
- SemVer-aware bumping: binding edits trigger a minor version increment
(e.g. 0.5.1 → 0.6.0) under pre-1.0 semantics, signaling potential
breaking changes; clean bindings simply align to the root version
- Multi-language support: updates Cargo manifests (Rust FFI, Java,
Python, WASM, Ruby), Maven pom.xml (Java), Ruby version constants,
and C# project files in a single pass
- CI integration: --check mode fails fast when manifests are out of
sync, ensuring pre-commit and release-plz workflows catch stale
versions before merge
Integration points:
- release-plz.toml: runs cargo xtask bindings --base-ref origin/main
after bumping the root crate, so binding versions are updated
atomically during the release process
- scripts/pre-commit: invokes cargo xtask bindings --check to block
commits that would leave bindings out of sync
- .cargo/config.toml: defines cargo xtask alias for convenience
Documentation includes inline examples showing how version bumps behave
when bindings are ahead/behind the root, and notes that the minor
field acts as the major version under SemVer 0.y.z initial development
phase.
