feat: add patronymic_name_order for Russian formal name order (#85)#184
Merged
Conversation
Add two precompiled regex patterns to detect Russian patronymic suffixes: - patronymic: Detects Latin-character patronymic endings (ovich, ovna, evich, etc.) - patronymic_cyrillic: Detects Cyrillic patronymic endings (ович, овна, евич, etc.) Both patterns are end-anchored ($) to match complete patronymic suffixes, supporting case-insensitive Latin matching and case-sensitive Cyrillic matching. These patterns will be used by Tasks 2-3 to implement Russian formal name order detection. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
