Details: The modification introduces a potential bug by using a hardcoded regex pattern instead of the original dynamic one.

Affected Code Snippet:

-            ? item.replace(new RegExp('^ {1,' + space + '}', 'gm'), '')
+            ? item.replace(/^ {1,6}/gm, '')

-  regex = regex.source;
+function replace(hardcodedRegex, opt) {
+  const regex = hardcodedRegex.source;
