In reply of:

> +Subject: [PATCH] imptcp: guard regex framing match at line start
> +
> +Why
> +A regex match at the beginning of the receive buffer can form a
> +negative message length after oversize-frame recovery.
> +
> +Impact
> +Regex-framed imptcp listeners reject that invalid transition instead
> +of submitting a negative message length.
> +
> +Before/After
> +Before: a match with a zero line offset submitted an invalid length.
> +After: only a match following an existing line can submit a frame.
> +
> +Technical Overview
> +Mirror the line-offset guard used by the shared imtcp parser.
> +Leave existing regex framing and oversize recovery behavior unchanged.
