Draft: depends on opnsense/ports#294, opnsense/tools#522 and opnsense/core#10953.
Problem
With opnsense/ports#294 and opnsense/tools#522, Suricata's Hyperscan pattern matcher is provided by Vectorscan instead of Intel Hyperscan, and opnsense/core#10953 relabels the option "Vectorscan". The "Pattern matcher" description in the IPS manual should match.
Proposed solution
Refer to the option as Vectorscan and add one sentence: it is the maintained fork of Intel Hyperscan, which selects the best instruction set (up to AVX-512) supported by the CPU at runtime.
I checked the edited simple table with docutils, and it parses without errors.
AI disclosure
AI tools were used. Model: Claude Opus 5.5 (Claude Code). The change and this description were produced with it, and I directed the work.
