…nd that braces are optional

Should use f-strings at this point.
Can you email [email protected] to discuss salt extensions too, since this PR has your attention and reaching out to you has failed so far.
BTW pipelines are under development, so it will be a while before they are running correctly, hopefully by the end of the week,

Why did you remove --numeric? While I don't think multiple --numeric args has any different effect, at least one does and is probably desired.

I don't think we want to be in the business of trying to parse and maintain the syntax of nftables rules. I suggest trying to find a way to have the tools canonicalize both rules. nft also has a --json flag to give json output which may also be cleaner/safer to handle.

There are other things that would make the rules not normalized and therefore not match like extra whitespaces. Here is a list according to copilot:
Whitespace: Variations in spaces or tabs can impact rule formatting, although it generally doesn’t affect functionality.
Comments: Inline or separate comments within rules might not be present in the canonical form.
Ordering: The sequence of rules and attributes can differ.
Default actions: When default actions aren’t explicitly stated, different interpretations may arise.
Aliases: Using aliases for set names or interfaces may introduce variations.
Optional attributes: Omitting certain attributes might create differences.
Nesting: The manner and extent of nesting in expressions might vary.

We did not escape the search_rule before using it as a regex so regex special characters like . and [ will not be treated as literal.
