inlineTokens rebuilds the reflink-mask preamble per call (Object.keys over all link defs), making n refs + n defs O(n^2) (measured exponent 3.0, 24s at n=13000) Defect id: footnote-defs-masking-quadratic Verified against upstream tag 18.0.7 and HEAD (triage: unfixed_at_head).

Pull request overview
This PR addresses a performance defect in Lexer.inlineTokens where reflink-masking work was being rebuilt per call, leading to superlinear behavior with many reference definitions and references.
Changes:
- Skip reflink-masking setup when the source text cannot contain reflinks (
src.includes('[')guard). - Replace per-match
Array.includeslookup withSet.hasfor faster membership checks. - Add a regression test covering masking correctness and a scaling check.

Good catch — replaced the absolute-time fallback with a direct ratio assertion plus an epsilon floor (t2 / Math.max(t1, 1e-4) < 3.5) in abb5d89, so the check stays sensitive on fast runners. Re-verified: full suite green (1767 + 192 tests) and the scaling repro still reports sub-linear exponent (0.781).
Addresses review feedback on markedjs#4040: the absolute-time fallback (Math.max(t1 * 3.5, 0.5)) could let superlinear behavior pass on fast runners when both timings were below 0.5s. Assert the t2/t1 ratio directly with a tiny epsilon floor to avoid divide-by-zero.

Summary
inlineTokens rebuilds the reflink-mask preamble per call (Object.keys over all link defs), making n refs + n defs O(n^2) (measured exponent 3.0, 24s at n=13000)
Evidence
18.0.7(reproduced_at_tag: True).unfixed_at_head(refHEAD).The regression test
inlineTokens-masking.test.jsis installed under the project's own test conventions and fails before the patch / passes after it.Reproduction
A minimized standalone repro (
footnote_defs.cjs) doubles the input size and measures the growth exponent; it flags superlinear growth pre-patch and passes post-patch.Provenance and disclosure
This pull request was prepared by an autonomous stewardship agent (blackhole-agent). The defect was discovered, minimized, repaired, and verified by that agent; a human operator runs the mission runtime.
