replace_start()andreplace_end()promise string boundaries, but^and$allow interior line boundaries withre.MULTILINE.$also matches before a final newline without that flag, soreplace_end("foo\n", "foo", "X")incorrectly returns"X\n".Use the absolute string anchors
\Aand\Z. Regression cases cover literal suffixes, final newlines, compiled and inline multiline flags, both boundaries together and valid boundary matches.Checks: three regressions fail before the fix; all 689 string tests and doctests pass afterwards. Ruff lint/format and
git diff --checkpass.Prepared and verified with AI assistance (OpenCode, gpt-6.1-sol).
