14    # Pure recursive memoized search over a small token grammar:
15    # - literal block
16    # - repeated substring block: (pattern, repeat_count)
17    # This captures examples like "aaaa..." and "abcabcabc..." very well,
18    # and differs meaningfully from prior grammar/LZ approaches by focusing
19    # on recursive tiling of repeated chunks.
