8    # Use a compact grammar-like recursive encoding:
9    # - Raw literal block
10    # - Repetition token: substring repeated k times
11    # - Concatenation chosen by DP
12    #
13    # This can compress patterns like:
14    #   "aaaa...." -> repeat("a", n)
15    #   "abcabcabc..." -> repeat("abc", k)
