The quilt patch titled

     lib-parser-fix-match_wildcard-to-correctly-handle-trailing-stars.patch

Subject: lib: parser: fix match_wildcard to correctly handle trailing stars
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 11:06:04 +0900

This fixes a bug in match_wildcard that incorrectly handles trailing
asterisks.  For example, `match_wildcard("abc**", "abc")` must return
true, but it returns false.
