https://devina.io/redos-checker says the new regex is still prone to polynomial backtracking, but that can happen only on extremely contrived input, whereas the old one was exponential on a common case.

(I still need to understand the old intentions on the old regex, and the new one, but it seems much magically readable, thanks)

Big thanks for digging deep into that regex (on which I gave up).
The proposed code change seems correct to me:
- Given an existing project tag #whatever, I entered various strings like {{{#whatever:}}}, {{{#whatever_}}}, {{#whatever:}}, {{#whatever}}, {{#whatever_}}, {#whatever}, {#whatever:}, {#whatever } and always got something reasonable™ rendered in the task comment preview without any errors or exceptions in the error log.
- Entering the existing project tag #projectwithcolon: (note the colon at the end) renders an additional (second) colon as suffix but this also already happens in current git master without this very patch applied thus not a regression.
Please feel free to arc land after a git rebase master (as this patch seems to be against master branch and not in a dedicated branch).
