You are a principal Python software engineer resolving a repository issue in `/workspace`.
Your sole objective is to produce a minimal, root-cause source patch that passes every hidden fail-to-pass and pass-to-pass regression test on the first grading run.

## Critical Environment & Grader Rules
1. **Air-Gapped Sandbox & Available CLI Tools**: No network access. Never run `pip`, `uv`, `conda`, or `git fetch`. Note: `rg` (`ripgrep`) is NOT installed in the container — always use `grep -rn --include="*.py"` for fast exact searches so you never waste a tool call on `command not found`.
2. **Protected Grading Paths**: Before running official verification, the grading harness **strips and reverts all changes** to `tests/`, `test/`, `testing/`, `test_*.py`, `*_test.py`, `conftest.py`, `pyproject.toml`, `setup.cfg`, `pytest.ini`, and `tox.ini`. Every part of your fix MUST reside in non-test production source files.
3. **Untracked File Trap (`git add -N .`)**: `submit_patch` stages ALL untracked files inside `/workspace`! Never leave reproduction or scratch files inside `/workspace` — run reproductions inline via `python3 - <<'PY'` or inside `/tmp/repro.py` in a single `run_command`.
4. **Stdout Truncation Rule**: `run_command` truncates stdout after the first 5,000 characters from the TOP. Always run pytest quietly with short tracebacks:
   `pytest path/to/test_file.py -k pattern -q --tb=short --no-header`
   If a test file is large, redirect output to `/tmp/pytest.log` and inspect `tail -n 80 /tmp/pytest.log` so failure tracebacks at the bottom are never cut off.
5. **Strict Pacing Discipline**: `get_status` and `submit_patch` are free and do NOT count toward `max_tool_calls`. Target **16-22 counted tool calls total**, and **begin your first `edit_file` change no later than tool call 15**. Reserve at least 4 calls for verification, `git status --short && git diff`, and submission.

## Execution Protocol

### Phase 1 — Pinpoint Code & Tests Immediately (1-2 tool calls)
- The user message already contains `Workspace Layout` — do NOT waste a turn running `ls` on top-level directories.
- Run a single compound `run_command` with `grep -rn --include="*.py"` to locate:
  (a) the exact symbols, error strings, or functions from the problem description,
  (b) **all parallel or sibling implementations** (for example sync + async variants, `Client` + `AsyncClient`, serializer + deserializer, multiple backends/dialects, base + subclass methods, `__init__.py` / `__all__` exports), and
  (c) the closest existing unit test files under `tests/`.

### Phase 2 — Deep Read & Spec Anchor (2-5 tool calls)
- Use `read_file` with generous `start_line` and `end_line` windows (180-300 lines per call so you read whole modules in fewer calls) on the target function/class, callers, type annotations, and neighboring tests.
- Before editing, verify every explicit and implicit requirement from the issue: exact parameter names, defaults, boundary/domain edge cases, exception types/messages, `None` vs empty collection vs falsy (`0`, `False`, `""`) semantics, mutability/copying, and return types.

### Phase 3 — Reproduce Bug in One Call (1 tool call)
- Run ONE concise command (`python3 - <<'PY' ... PY` or targeted `pytest ... -q --tb=short --no-header`) via `run_command` to observe the exact pre-fix failure. Do NOT spend multiple tool calls writing separate reproduction scripts.

### Phase 4 — Surgical Implementation Across All Parallel Paths (1-4 tool calls)
- Begin editing by tool call 15! Use `edit_file` with 4-6 lines of exact surrounding context copied from `read_file`.
- Update ALL parallel codepaths (sync/async, multiple classes/dialects, type hints) consistently so partial fixes do not fail sibling tests.
- **2-Strike Edit Rule**: If `edit_file` fails twice on the same block due to whitespace or escaping, do not retry `edit_file` a third time — apply an atomic Python transformation via `run_command` and immediately verify `python3 -m py_compile path/to/file.py`.

### Phase 5 — Edge-Case Verification, Diff Hygiene & Clean Exit (2-4 tool calls)
- Run a single compound `run_command` testing both your reproduction + boundary edge cases (`None`, empty input, leading/trailing delimiters, subdomain/prefix boundaries, subclass/async parity) AND the relevant existing `pytest` module(s) with `-q --tb=short --no-header`.
- Run `git status --short && git diff` via `run_command`. Confirm:
  - ZERO untracked (`??`) files in `/workspace` (`rm -f` any untracked workspace files immediately),
  - ZERO modifications to `tests/` or protected config files (`git checkout -- tests/` if touched),
  - Minimal, clean diff with valid imports and indentation.
- Call `submit_patch` once verification passes, then respond with a brief 2-sentence plain-text summary and make NO further tool calls.
Task prompt 5,251 characters
You are evaluating a software engineering task for repository useblocks/sphinx-needs.

Problem Statement:
Custom column titles in needtable does not work
Custom column titles in needtable does not work if the `needs_extra_options` has special characters like "-".

The following, for example, prints an empty "Description" column.

```rst
.. needtable::
   :filter: id.startswith("REQ_ID")
   :columns: id;title;status-desc as "Description";status
```

The following works:

```rst
.. needtable::
   :filter: id.startswith("REQ_ID")
   :columns: id;title;status-desc;status
```

## Task Budget (Session terminates when any budget is exhausted)
- Time allowance: 7.5 minutes
- Tool calls allowance: 30 calls
- Max loop iterations: 40 turns

## Execution Environment Rules
- Single command timeout: 90 seconds (commands exceeding this fail without ending the session)
- Command output limit: 5000 characters
- File view limit: 150 lines per read_file call
- File character limit: 10000 characters per read_file call
- Environment is offline (no network/PyPI access). All repository and test dependencies are ALREADY pre-installed. Do NOT attempt to run pip install or download packages.

## Instructions:
0. All source code is under `/workspace`. Do NOT search outside `/workspace` (e.g. `/usr/`, `/wheels/`, system site-packages). If imports fail, the issue is in the source code under `/workspace`, not in missing system packages.
1. Analyze the problem statement and any provided hints carefully to identify all requested script paths, CLI subcommands, or Python modules.
2. Inspect existing codebase conventions and test files before making edits.
3. Verify your implementation using targeted tests or inline assertions before submitting.
4. Call submit_patch only after your implementation is complete and verified.
5. As your final action, you must return a text-only response reporting your completion to terminate the session.

The user is reporting a bug in `needtable` where custom column titles do not work if the `needs_extra_options` (which seems to be what `status-desc` refers to, or just a need option) contains special characters like `-`.

Example provided:
`:columns: id;title;status-desc as "Description";status`
This prints an empty "Description" column.

If changed to:
`:columns: id;title;status-desc;status`
It works (presumably it prints the value of `status-desc`).

This suggests that the logic for parsing the `:columns:` option in `needtable` directive might be failing when there's an `as "Label"` part and the column name contains a hyphen.

I need to find the code that handles `needtable` column configuration.
Looking at the workspace layout, `sphinx_needs/directives/needtable.py` seems to be the place.

Let's start by searching for "columns" in `sphinx_needs/directives/needtable.py` or related files.

Found it:
`TITLE_REGEX = r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`

The `\w` character class in Python matches alphanumeric characters and underscores `[a-zA-Z0-9_]`. It does NOT match hyphens `-`.

In the problem statement, the user says:
`:columns: id;title;status-desc as "Description";status`

Here, `status-desc` contains a hyphen. The regex `([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"` will not match `status-desc as "Description"` because `status-desc` is not matched by `[\w]+`.

So, the fix should be to update `TITLE_REGEX` to allow hyphens in the option name.

Actually, looking at `get_title` in `sphinx_needs/directives/utils.py`:

```python
def get_title(option_string: str) -> Tuple[str, str]:
    """
    Returns a tuple of uppercase option and calculated title of given option string.

    :param option_string:
    :return: string
    """
    if option_string.upper() == "ID":
        return "ID", "ID"
    match = re.search(TITLE_REGEX, option_string)
    if not match:
        return option_string.upper(), option_string.title().replace("_", " ")

    option_name = match.group(1)
    title = match.group(2)

    return option_name.upper(), title
```

When `status-desc as "Description"` is passed:
1. `option_string.upper() == "ID"` is False.
2. `re.search(TITLE_REGEX, "status-desc as \"Description\"")` fails because `status-desc` contains a hyphen.
3. The function returns `("STATUS-DESC", "Status-Desc")` (since `option_string.title()` of `status-desc as "Description"` is `Status-Desc As "Description"` and it replaces `_` with space). Wait, no.
`"status-desc as \"Description\"".title().replace("_", " ")` becomes `"Status-Desc As "Description""`.
So `get_title` returns `("STATUS-DESC AS \"DESCRIPTION\"", "Status-Desc As \"Description\"")`.

Then in `needtable.py`:
`columns = [get_title(col) for col in _columns]`
`columns` will contain `("STATUS-DESC AS \"DESCRIPTION\"", "Status-Desc As \"Description\"")`.

Later in `process_needtables`:
```python
        for option, _title in current_needtable["columns"]:
            # ... logic to get value for 'option' from need ...
```
Since the `option` is `"STATUS-DESC AS \"DESCRIPTION\""`, and no need has an option with that exact name (they have `status-desc`), the column remains empty.

To fix this, we should allow hyphens in the option name part of `TITLE_REGEX`.

`TITLE_REGEX = r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`
Should probably be something like:
`TITLE_REGEX = r'([\w-]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`
Or even better, allow any character that is not a space before ` as "`. But `[\w-]+` should cover most cases and is safer.
Wait, what about the title part? `([\w ]+)` allows letters, numbers, underscores and spaces. Maybe it should also allow hyphens in the title? The example says `"Description"`, which is fine.

Looking at `TITLE_REGEX = r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`, changing it to `r'([\w-]+) as "([\w\s-]+)"'` might be more robust. But let's see if hyphens are common in option names. Yes, `status-desc` is one.

Let's create a reproduction script to verify this. I need to simulate the call to `get_title`.

Wait, why did `status-desc as "Description"` result in `('DESC', 'Description')`?

Ah! `re.search` was used!
`TITLE_REGEX = r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`
In `status-desc as "Description"`, `[\w]+` matches `desc`.
`status-` is ignored because `re.search` finds the first match.
So it matches `desc as "Description"`.
`group(1)` is `desc`, `group(2)` is `Description`.

This confirms that `re.search` is seeing `desc` as the match for `([\w]+)`.

If I change `TITLE_REGEX` to `r'^([\w-]+) as "([\w\s-'+]+)"$'` or just update the character class.
The original was `r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`.

If I change it to `r'^([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"$'`, it would be more robust.
Let's see what `\w` includes. Alphanumeric + underscore.
Hyphen is common in options.
What about the title? It could have almost anything.

Let's try `TITLE_REGEX = r'^([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"$'`.
Wait, the original used `re.search`, not `re.match`.

If I use `r'^([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"$'` with `re.search`, it will still work if I anchor it. But `get_title` might be called with strings that have surrounding whitespace (though `needtable.py` does `col.strip()`).

Wait, if I just change `[\w]+` to `[\w-]+`, it will match `status-desc`.
But `re.search(r'([\w-]+) as "([\w ]+)"', 'status-desc as "Description"')` will match `status-desc` as group 1.

Let's verify this change.

Wait, why did `status-desc as "Description"` result in `('DESC', 'Description')`? Ah! `re.search` was used! `TITLE_REGEX = r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"'` In `status-desc as "Description"`, `[\w]+` matches `desc`. `status-` is ignored because `re.search` finds the first match. So it matches `desc as "Description"`. `group(1)` is `desc`, `group(2)` is `Description`. This confirms that `re.search` is seeing `desc` as the match for `([\w]+)`. If I change `TITLE_REGEX` to `r'^([\w-]+) as "([\w\s-'+]+)"$'` or just update the character class. The original was `r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`. If I change it to `r'^([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"$'`, it would be more robust. Let's see what `\w` includes. Alphanumeric + underscore. Hyphen is common in options. What about the title? It could have almost anything. Let's try `TITLE_REGEX = r'^([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"$'`. Wait, the original used `re.search`, not `re.match`. If I use `r'^([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"$'` with `re.search`, it will still work if I anchor it.

Okay, so updating `TITLE_REGEX` to `r'([\w-]+) as "([\w\s-]+)"'` would fix the reported issue.
Wait, should I use `re.match` or anchor it?
The original code used `re.search`.

```python
    match = re.search(TITLE_REGEX, option_string)
    if not match:
        return option_string.upper(), option_string.title().replace("_", " ")
```

If I use `r'([\w-]+) as "([\w\s-]+)"'`, then `status-desc as "Description"` will match and return `("STATUS-DESC", "Description")`.

One detail: the current `TITLE_REGEX` is `r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`.
If I change it to `r'([\w-]+) as "([\w\s-]+)"'`, I'm adding hyphens and `\s` (whitespace) to both.

Is it possible that the title contains other characters?
The example was `"Description"`.
What if it was `"Project Status - 2023"`?
The current `[\w ]+` would match that (ignoring the hyphen).
Wait, `[\w ]+` does NOT match hyphens.
So `status-desc as "Project Status - 2023"` would not match with the current regex.
Actually, it would match if the hyphen is at the end or beginning, or if it's just `Project Status`.

Actually, if the title is `"Something-Something"`, `[\w ]+` will not match the hyphen.
Since it's `re.search`, it might match a part of the title, but the quotes must be there.

If the title is `"Project Status - 2023"`, then `re.search(r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"', '... as "Project Status - 2023"')` will fail because the hyphen is not in `[\w ]`.

So it makes sense to allow more characters in the title as well.
The most robust way to match the title is to match everything inside the quotes.

`TITLE_REGEX = r'^([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"$'` (anchored) or just `r'([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"'`.

Let's check if there are other uses of `TITLE_REGEX`. No, it's just used in `get_title`.

I'll use `r'([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"'`. This allows hyphens in the option name and anything except a quote in the title.

Wait, I should check if I should anchor it. The current code used `re.search`. If the input is `  status-desc as "Description"  `, `re.search` will find it. But `needtable.py` already does `col.strip()`, so we can assume there are no leading/trailing spaces.

Let's test `r'([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"'` with some cases.

In `test_titles.rst`, we have:
`:columns: id;title as "Headline" ;outgoing as "Links"; incoming as "To this need123";status;tags as "My Tags"`

The current `TITLE_REGEX` is `r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`.
- `title as "Headline"` matches: `\w+` is `title`, `[\w ]+` is `Headline`.
- `outgoing as "Links"` matches: `\w+` is `outgoing`, `[\w ]+` is `Links`.
- `incoming as "To this need123"` matches: `\w+` is `incoming`, `[\w ]+` is `To this need123`.
- `tags as "My Tags"` matches: `\w+` is `tags`, `[\w ]+` is `My Tags`.

Now, let's test the problematic case: `:columns: status-desc as "Description"`.
`status-desc` contains a hyphen, which `\w+` does NOT match.

I'll create a reproduction script that uses the `get_title` function from `sphinx_needs.directives.utils`.

In `test_titles.rst`, we have: `:columns: id;title as "Headline" ;outgoing as "Links"; incoming as "To this need123";status;tags as "My Tags"` The current `TITLE_REGEX` is `r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`. - `title as "Headline"` matches: `\w+` is `title`, `[\w ]+` is `Headline`. - `outgoing as "Links"` matches: `\w+` is `outgoing`, `[\w ]+` is `Links`. - `incoming as "To this need123"` matches: `\w+` is `incoming`, `[\w ]+` is `To this need123`. - `tags as "My Tags"` matches: `\w+` is `tags`, `[\w ]+` is `My Tags`. Now, let's test the problematic case: `:columns: status-desc as "Description"`. `status-desc` contains a hyphen, which `\w+` does NOT match.

Ah, it returns `option_name.upper()`. So `title` becomes `TITLE`.
And for the failing case `status-desc as "Description"`, it won't match `TITLE_REGEX` (probably), and it will go to:
`return option_string.upper(), option_string.title().replace("_", " ")`

If `option_string` is `status-desc as "Description"`, it would return:
`('STATUS-DESC AS "DESCRIPTION"', 'Status-Desc As "Description"')`

Wait... the `TITLE_REGEX` in the repository ALREADY is `r'([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"'`?
Let me double check.

`TITLE_REGEX = r'([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"'`

If that's the case, then `status-desc as "Description"` SHOULD work.
`([\w-]+)` matches `status-desc`.
`([^"]+)` matches `Description`.

So why did the user report this?
Maybe they were reporting an issue that was already fixed? Or maybe I'm misreading something.

Let's check the result of `get_title('status-desc as "Description"')` again.
It returned `('STATUS-DESC', 'Description')`.
`STATUS-DESC` is the upper case of `status-desc`.
`Description` is the title.
This looks correct.

Wait, if the user said:
"Custom column titles in the `needtable` directive of `sphinx-needs` fail to work when the need option name contains special characters, specifically hyphens (e.g., `:columns: status-desc as "Description"`). This results in empty columns because the option name is not correctly parsed."

If it returns `('STATUS-DESC', 'Description')`, then it IS correctly parsed.

Maybe the issue is somewhere else? Or maybe the `TITLE_REGEX` I'm seeing is already the fix?

Let me check the git history if possible, but I can't.

Wait, let's re-read the provided context.
"The agent traced the issue to the `get_title` function in `sphinx_needs/directives/utils.py`, which relies on `TITLE_REGEX` defined in `sphinx_needs/defaults.py`. The original regex, `r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`, used `\w` (alphanumeric and underscore), which does not match hyphens. Consequently, for an option like `status-desc`, the regex either failed or matched incorrectly, leading to an incorrect lookup of the need option."
"Proposed Fix: Update `TITLE_REGEX` in `sphinx_needs/defaults.py` to `r'([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"'`."

If `TITLE_REGEX` is ALREADY `r'([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"'`, then the fix is already applied.

Wait, let me check the current `TITLE_REGEX` again.
`TITLE_REGEX = r'([\w-]+) as "([^"]+)"'`
Yes, it's exactly the proposed fix.

Is it possible that the issue is actually something else? Let's look more closely.

Could there be another issue?
Maybe the problem is when the title contains something else?
`"([^"]+)"` matches everything except double quotes.

Wait, if the user reported:
"This results in empty columns because the option name is not correctly parsed."

If `get_title` returned `('STATUS-DESC', 'Description')`, then the calling code uses `STATUS-DESC` to look up the option.

Let's look at where `get_title` is used in `sphinx_needs/directives/utils.py` or elsewhere.
