Build a JavaScript regex matching: {description}

1. **The regex** — copy-pasteable. Use named groups when capture is involved.
2. **Per-token explanation** — break the regex into chunks and explain each. Use a markdown table:
   | Token | Meaning |
   |---|---|
3. **5 strings it MATCHES** — varied (boundary cases, common cases). For each, mark which capture group(s) catch what.
4. **5 strings it does NOT match** — focus on tricky edge cases (off-by-one, similar-but-different, empty, multibyte/Unicode, leading/trailing whitespace).
5. **Anchors decision** — if you used `^`/`$` (or omitted them), explain in 1 line.

<rules>
- Prefer non-greedy quantifiers when matching short content.
- Avoid catastrophic backtracking patterns (nested quantifiers).
- If the description is ambiguous (e.g. "match an email" — RFC-strict or pragmatic?), state your interpretation in 1 line.
- Test mentally against your own 10 examples before output. If any fail, fix the regex first.
