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` custom column titles.
Specifically, if the column name in `:columns:` (like `status-desc`) has special characters (like `-`), the part `as "Description"` is not working as expected, and the column appears empty.

Example that fails:
`:columns: id;title;status-desc as "Description";status`

Example that works:
`:columns: id;title;status-desc;status`

This suggests that the parsing of the `:columns:` option in `needtable` is failing when the column name contains a hyphen and is followed by `as "..."`.

I need to investigate `sphinx_needs/directives/needtable.py` to see how the `:columns:` option is parsed.

Plan:
1. Locate the parsing logic for `:columns:` in `sphinx_needs/directives/needtable.py`.
2. Create a reproduction case (a small Sphinx project) to verify the bug.
3. Fix the parsing logic.
4. Verify the fix.

I see the line where `columns` are processed:

```python
        columns_str = str(self.options.get(\"columns\", \"\"))
        if len(columns_str) == 0:
            columns_str = NeedsSphinxConfig(env.app.config).table_columns
        if isinstance(columns_str, str):

        else:
            _columns = columns_str

        columns = [get_title(col) for col in _columns]
```

It calls `get_title(col)`. Let's check where `get_title` is defined. It's imported from `sphinx_needs.directives.utils`.

I see the line where `columns` are processed: ```python columns_str = str(self.options.get(\"columns\", \"\")) if len(columns_str) == 0: columns_str = NeedsSphinxConfig(env.app.config).table_columns if isinstance(columns_str, str): _columns = [col.strip() for col in re.split(\";|,\", columns_str)] else: _columns = columns_str columns = [get_title(col) for col in _columns] ``` It calls `get_title(col)`. Let's check where `get_title` is defined. It's imported from `sphinx_needs.directives.utils`. <channel|><|tool_call>call:read_file{filepath:<|"|>sphinx_needs/directives/utils.py<|"|>}<tool_call|><|tool_response>

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

The `\w` character class in Python regular expressions matches Unicode word characters, which include letters, numbers, and underscores, but NOT hyphens (`-`).

So if `option_string` is `status-desc as "Description"`, `re.search(TITLE_REGEX, option_string)` will fail because `status-desc` contains a hyphen.

If it fails, `get_title` returns:
`return option_string.upper(), option_string.title().replace("_", " ")`

For `status-desc as "Description"`, it returns `('STATUS-DESC AS "DESCRIPTION"', 'Status-Desc As "Description"')`.

Wait, the user says it prints an empty "Description" column.

Let's see how `columns` (which is a list of `(option, title)` tuples) is used in `process_needtables` in `sphinx_needs/directives/needtable.py`.

I'll read `process_needtables` more carefully.

Found it: `TITLE_REGEX = r'([\\w]+) as \"([\\w ]+)\"'` The `\w` character class in Python regular expressions matches Unicode word characters, which include letters, numbers, and underscores, but NOT hyphens (`-`). So if `option_string` is `status-desc as "Description"`, `re.search(TITLE_REGEX, option_string)` will fail because `status-desc` contains a hyphen. If it fails, `get_title` returns: `return option_string.upper(), option_string.title().replace("_", " ")` For `status-desc as "Description"`, it returns `('STATUS-DESC AS "DESCRIPTION"', 'Status-Desc As "Description"')`. Wait, the user says it prints an empty "Description" column. Let's see how `columns` (which is a list of `(option, title)` tuples) is used in `process_needtables` in `sphinx_needs/directives/needtable.py`. I'll read `process_needtables` more carefully. <channel|><|tool_call>call:read_file{filepath:<|"|>sphinx_needs/directives/needtable.py<|"|>,start_line:151}<tool_call|><|tool_response>

And specifically here:

```python
            for option, _title in current_needtable[\"columns\"]:\n                if option == \"ID\":\n                    row += row_col_maker(app, fromdocname, all_needs, temp_need, \"id\", make_ref=True, prefix=prefix)\n                elif option == \"TITLE\":\n                    row += row_col_maker(app, fromdocname, all_needs, temp_need, \"title\", prefix=prefix)\n                elif option in link_type_list:\n                    # ...\n                else:\n                    row += row_col_maker(app, fromdocname, all_needs, temp_need, option.lower())
```

If `option_string` is `status-desc as "Description"`, `get_title` returns `('STATUS-DESC AS "DESCRIPTION"', 'Status-Desc As "Description"')`.

Then `option` is `'STATUS-DESC AS "DESCRIPTION"'`.
`option.lower()` is `'status-desc as "description"'`.

`row_col_maker` probably tries to find this key in `temp_need`. Since `temp_need` doesn't have a key named `'status-desc as "description"'`, it probably returns an empty value.

So the fix is to update `TITLE_REGEX` to allow hyphens.

`TITLE_REGEX = r'([\\w]+) as \"([\\w ]+)\"'`
should probably be
`TITLE_REGEX = r'([\\w-]+) as \"([\\w ]+)\"'`
Wait, maybe more characters are allowed in the option name. The issue says "special characters like '-'".

Let's double check `\w`. It's `[a-zA-Z0-9_]`.

If we change it to `[\w-]+`, it'll cover hyphens.

Let's see if `option_name` can have other characters.
The user said `status-desc`.

I will create a reproduction script first. Since this is a Sphinx extension, I'll need a minimal Sphinx project.

Wait, look at the output:
`Input: status-desc as "Description" | Expected: ('STATUS-DESC', 'Description') | Actual: ('DESC', 'Description')`

Why did it return `('DESC', 'Description')` instead of `('STATUS-DESC AS "DESCRIPTION"', 'Status-Desc As "Description"')` as I predicted?

Let's check the regex again.
`TITLE_REGEX = r'([\\w]+) as \"([\\w ]+)\"'`

In `status-desc as "Description"`, the part `status-desc` does NOT match `[\w]+`.
But wait, `re.search` finds the first match.

`status-desc as "Description"`
`\w+` matches `desc`.
Then ` as "` matches ` as "`.
Then `[\w ]+` matches `Description`.

So `re.search` matched `desc as "Description"`.
`match.group(1)` is `desc`.
`match.group(2)` is `Description`.
It returns `('DESC', 'Description')`.

This explains why the column is empty: it's looking for a field named `desc` instead of `status-desc`.

So the fix is indeed to allow hyphens in the option name part of the regex.

I should check if other special characters are common. Maybe `.`, `:`, `/` etc. The issue says "special characters like '-'".

If I change `[\w]+` to `[\w-]+`, it will match `status-desc`.
But what if there are other characters?

Let's see what `\w` is. Usually it's `[a-zA-Z0-9_]`.

I'll change it to `[^\s]+` if I want to allow anything that's not whitespace before ` as "`.
But maybe that's too broad.

Usually, Sphinx options and custom fields follow some identifier rules.
Allowing hyphens seems like the right first step.

Let's try to see if there are other characters that should be supported.
The issue specifically mentions `-`.

I'll change `TITLE_REGEX` from `r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"'` to `r'([\w-]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`.

Actually, let's see if `get_title` is used anywhere else. It's used in `NeedtableDirective.run`:
`columns = [get_title(col) for col in _columns]`

I should also consider if the title part `([\w ]+)` needs to be more flexible (e.g., allowing punctuation). But the issue is about the option name.

Let's test with `[\w-]+`.

Let's try to see if there are other characters that should be supported. The issue specifically mentions `-`. I'll change `TITLE_REGEX` from `r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"'` to `r'([\w-]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`. Actually, let's see if `get_title` is used anywhere else. It's used in `NeedtableDirective.run`: `columns = [get_title(col) for col in _columns]` I should also consider if the title part `([\w ]+)` needs to be more flexible (e.g., allowing punctuation).

Great. Now I'll apply the change to `sphinx_needs/defaults.py`.

Wait, I should check if the title part `([\w ]+)` is sufficient.
What if the title has a comma or a dot?
The user's example: `as "Description"`.

If the title is `as "Description, Final"`, it won't match `[\w ]+`.
Maybe I should change `([\w ]+)` to `(.+)`?
No, `re.search` might be too greedy.

The current regex is `r'([\w]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`.
If I change it to `r'([\w-]+) as "(.+)"'`, and it's used with `re.search`, the `. +` will be greedy.

Example: `option as "Title" and something else`
`. +` will match `Title" and something else`.

Wait, the `"` at the end of the regex `\"([\\w ]+)\"` anchors it.
If I change it to `\"(.+)\"`, it will match until the last `"` in the string.

Usually, the column string is `id;title;status-desc as "Description";status`.
It is already split by `;` or `,`.
So the string passed to `get_title` is just `status-desc as "Description"`.
In that case, `(.+)` inside quotes should be fine.

However, the original regex used `[\w ]+`. Is there a reason for that?
Probably to be safe.

Let's see if there are any reasons to restrict the title.
Usually, a title can be anything.

But the primary issue is the option name.

Let's check if I should also allow other characters in the option name.
If `status-desc` is allowed, then probably any non-whitespace character that isn't a quote.

Actually, if I use `([^\s]+)` for the option name, it will match `status-desc`.

`TITLE_REGEX = r'([^\s]+) as "(.+)"'`

Wait, let's look at the current `TITLE_REGEX` again.
`TITLE_REGEX = r'([\\w]+) as \"([\\w ]+)\"'`

If I change it to `r'([\w-]+) as "([\w ]+)"'`, it'll fix the reported bug.

Should I also expand the title part?
The bug report doesn't mention titles with special characters.
"Custom column titles in needtable does not work if the `needs_extra_options` has special characters like "-"."

`needs_extra_options` here refers to the key (the option name).

I'll stick to the minimal change: allowing hyphens in the option name.

Wait, can the option name contain other characters?
The user says "special characters like '-'".
Maybe I should allow a broader set of characters for the option name.

If I look at how `get_title` is used, it's for mapping a column to an option.
The option is then used to index into a need object (which is a dict).
Python dict keys can be anything, but in the context of Sphinx-needs, they are likely strings.

If I use `([^\s]+)`, it will match everything up to the first space.
For `status-desc as "Description"`, `([^\s]+)` matches `status-desc`.
` as "` then matches ` as "`.
Then `([\w ]+)` matches `Description`.
Then `"` matches `"`.

This seems safer and more flexible.

What about the title? `([\w ]+)`.
If the title is `as "Product Version (v1)"`, `[\w ]+` will not match `(` and `)`.
It seems like the title should be anything inside the quotes.

So maybe `r'([^\s]+) as "(.+)"'` is better.
Wait, if I use `(.+)`, and someone puts `option as "Title" suffix`, it might be a problem if there are multiple quotes. But since we already split by `;` and `,`, it's unlikely.

However, the most conservative fix is just to add the hyphen to the option name part.

Let's see if the current codebase has any other clues about what characters are allowed in option names.
I'll search for where options are defined or used.

Actually, the user said "special characters like '-'". This implies there might be others.

If I use `[^\s]+` for the option name, it covers everything that doesn't have a space.
If the option name itself can have a space, it would have to be quoted, but the current syntax `option as "Title"` doesn't seem to support quoting the option name.

If I change `TITLE_REGEX` to `r'([\w-]+) as "(.+)"'`, it's probably enough. No, let's be a bit more careful with the title.
If I use `([^\"]+)` for the title, it matches everything until the next quote.

So: `r'([\w-]+) as "([^\"]+)"'`

Wait, let's try `r'([^\s]+) as "(.+)"'` and see if it is too greedy.
If the string is `status-desc as "Description"`, `(.+)` will match `Description`.
The trailing `\"` in the regex will force it to match until the last quote.

Actually, `r'([\w-]+) as "([^\"]+)"'` is quite robust. It allows hyphens in the option name and any character except a quote in the title.

Let's verify this with our test script.
