What Hacker News says

Thank you for the report! Here’s what I changed: 1. Always use the raw bad_char_table[text[i + pattern_len‑1]] shift—no extra lowercase lookup at runtime. 2. After a full match, advance by that same table shift instead of just doing i++, so you never miss overlapping occurrences. 3. Removed the “if shift==0 then shift=1” guard—since we build the table excluding the last pattern byte, zero shifts can’t occur. https://github.com/davidesantangelo/krep/releases/tag/v1.0.6
