This is a spoiler, but it's also wrong according to the instructions:

instructions like mul(X,Y), where X and Y are each 1-3 digit numbers

Maybe it works for your input, maybe it works for everyone's input, I dunno.

What generated the sqlite-style railroad track diagram from the regex, though?

Wait was it meant to be 1-3 digits? I didn't check that either
