/**
 * @file regex_search.c
 * @brief VM opcode snippet for OP_REGEX_SEARCH (POSIX first-match search).
 *
 * Finds the first match of a POSIX regular expression within an input string
 * and returns a map with details about the match and captured groups.
 *
 * Behavior (stack effects):
 * - Pops: pattern (string), input (string)
 * - Pushes: map with keys:
 *   - "match": string — the matched substring (empty if no match)
 *   - "start": int — start index of the match, or -1
 *   - "end": int — end index (exclusive) of the match, or -1
 *   - "groups": array<string> — captured groups (may be empty)
 *
 * Platform notes:
 * - On non-UNIX platforms (no POSIX regex available), returns a default map
 *   with empty match, start=-1, end=-1, and empty groups.
 *
 * Errors:
 * - If operands are not strings, the VM prints a runtime type error and exits.
 * - If the pattern is an invalid regex, returns the default empty map.
 *
 * Example:
 * - pattern = "h(ell)o", input = "oh hello!" ->
 *   { match: "hello", start: 3, end: 8, groups: ["ell"] }
