intellisense in tv config hangs on project when running process on large tv file

[binaryartifex]

Describe the bug
When using a tailwind-variants tv config with a moderate amount of compound variations, the tailwind-intellisense extension hangs indefinitely for the whole project.

To Reproduce
The best way i can think of to simulate the issue is the following

1. enable the vscode extensions Prettier and Tailwind CSS Intellisense
2. have the prettier-plugin-tailwindcss prettier plugin installed with following configuration

{
  "arrowParens": "always",
  "bracketSameLine": false,
  "bracketSpacing": true,
  "endOfLine": "auto",
  "printWidth": 100,
  "singleQuote": false,
  "trailingComma": "all",
  "tabWidth": 2,
  "plugins": ["prettier-plugin-tailwindcss"],
  "tailwindConfig": "tailwind-workspace-preset.js",
  "tailwindFunctions": ["tv"]
}

3. edit vscode settings with the following configuration (relative to your package manager). I work within an NX monorepo, the tailwind-workspace-preset.js is the root config all other tailwind configs inherit from, i think its safe to omit this for the purpose of repeating the issue.

{
  "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
  "editor.formatOnSave": true,
  "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
    "source.organizeImports": true,
    "source.fixAll": false
  },
  "editor.inlineSuggest.enabled": true,
  "editor.quickSuggestions": {
    "strings": true
  },
  "eslint.validate": ["json"],
  "tailwindCSS.validate": false,
  "tailwindCSS.codeActions": true,
  "tailwindCSS.experimental.configFile": "tailwind-workspace-preset.js",
  "tailwindCSS.experimental.classRegex": [
    ["tv\\((([^()]*|\\([^()]*\\))*)\\)", "[\"'`]([^\"'`]*).*?[\"'`]"]
  ],
  "tailwindCSS.files.exclude": [
    "**/.git/**",
    "**/node_modules/**",
    "**/.hg/**",
    "**/.nx/**",
    "**/.svn/**",
    "**/.husky/**",
    "**/pnpm-lock.yaml",
    "**/@generated/**"
  ]
}

4. I can predictably repeat the issue with the following tv config. This first snippet should still provide fully functional intellisense and formatting. I lean heavily on CSS variables in my theming so i think some of the css classes will need to be replaced with default tailwind classes

import { tv } from "tailwind-variants";

export const baseButtonStyles = tv({
  slots: {
    base: [
      "group relative flex shrink-0 select-none items-center rounded-base outline-none transition-all ease-in-out",
      "data-[focus-visible]:outline-2",
    ],
    spinner: "absolute inset-0 m-auto animate-spin text-current",
  },
  variants: {
    color: {
      brand: {},
      danger: {},
      neutral: {},
      success: {},
    },
    isLoading: {
      true: {},
      false: {},
    },
    variant: {
      primary: {},
      secondary: {},
      tertiary: {},
    },
  },
  compoundVariants: [
    {
      variant: "primary",
      color: "brand",
      className: {
        base: [
          "bg-brand text-white",
          "data-[hovered]:bg-brand-dark",
          "data-[pressed]:bg-brand-darker",
        ],
      },
    },
    {
      variant: "primary",
      color: "danger",
      className: {
        base: [
          "bg-danger text-white",
          "data-[hovered]:bg-danger-dark",
          "data-[pressed]:bg-danger-darker",
        ],
      },
    },
    {
      variant: "primary",
      color: "neutral",
      className: {
        base: [
          "bg-neutral text-white",
          "data-[hovered]:bg-neutral-dark",
          "data-[pressed]:bg-neutral-darker",
        ],
      },
    },
    {
      variant: "primary",
      color: "success",
      className: {
        base: [
          "bg-success text-white",
          "data-[hovered]:bg-success-dark",
          "data-[pressed]:bg-success-darker",
        ],
      },
    },
  ],
});

4a. Now add the following two compoundVariants to the above config. When i try to get intellisense working on any classNames momentarily, the loading tooltip appears and hangs indefinately. furthermore the entire intellisense process seems to hang indefinately on the whole project.

 {
      variant: "secondary",
      color: "brand",
      className: {
        base: [
          "border border-current text-brand",
          "data-[hovered]:bg-brand/10",
          "data-[pressed]:bg-brand/20",
        ],
      },
    },
    {
      variant: "secondary",
      color: "danger",
      className: {
        base: [
          "border border-current text-danger",
          "data-[hovered]:bg-danger/10",
          "data-[pressed]:bg-danger/20",
        ],
      },
    },

Expected behavior
Intellisense should continue to work without hanging - i thought at first this was an intellisense issue however having narrowed it down to the tv config i strongly suspect the way that typescript types are generated internally within tailwind-variants is possibly producing a huge amount of variations causing the workspace wide freeze.

I'm experimenting with a new regex that is more performant and will update the docs after some more testing and usage.

"tailwindCSS.experimental.classRegex": [
  ["tv\\(([^)(]*(?:\\([^)(]*(?:\\([^)(]*(?:\\([^)(]*\\)[^)(]*)*\\)[^)(]*)*\\)[^)(]*)*)\\)", "\"(.*?)\""]
]

The issue is just the regex.
I have it in any project. Add the regex, formatting chain hangs, remove the regex, formatting chain works again.

There is no perfect solution, because some weird cases are possible, like brackets in a string, but this one will at least balance the brackets to some depths and is fast:

[
  "tv\\((?<=\\()(?:[^()]*|\\([^)]*\\))+(?=\\))\\)",
  "[\"'`]([^\"'`]*).*?[\"'`]"
]

I didn't change the second regex that extracts the actual class names, because it doesn't ensure opening and closing string matching, but in normal case where you don't have syntax error in your code it will work, so good enough.

Here example regex101:
