Changed

• Updated diagnostic rule structure to support categorization and technology classification
• Enhanced diagnostic system architecture for better rule organization and management
• major template updates to include paremeter definitions for main details
  • updated ns2FastParams.ts to accomdate template updates
• Updated models
• rebuild htmlPreview stub from f5-fast-core
  • This will allow the extension to customize the html preview as needed

  • Removed unsupported inline case-insensitive flags ((?i)) that caused "Invalid group" errors
  • Fixed lookbehind assertions and named capture groups for broader JavaScript compatibility
  • Enhanced error handling with try-catch blocks for regex compilation failures
• Fixed port number type assertions in protocol test files
  • Corrected SSL_BRIDGE, DNS, TCP LDAPS, and UDP NTP tests to expect string port values
  • Aligned test expectations with actual NetScaler parsing behavior
