What happened?

Reverse routing is failing for routes with regex containing parenthesis

Error: preg_match(): Compilation failed: missing closing parenthesis at offset 19,
vendor/codeigniter4/framework/system/Router/RouteCollection.php
line: 1238

Looking at the RouteCollection.php line 1211
preg_match_all('/\(([^)]+)\)/', $from, $matches);
It appears the regex is only matching to the first parenthesis and losing the rest.

Steps to Reproduce

$routes->addPlaceholder('imgFileExt', '^.*\.(?:jpg|png)$');
$routes->get('images/(:imgFileExt)', 'Images::getFile/$1');
$file = 'test.jpg';
url_to('Images::getFile', $file)

Expected Output

<base_url>/images/test.jpg
