NestJS/ Fastify Controller wildcard not working as intended

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current behavior

When using NestJS with the fastify adapter and trying to apply a wildcard to a controller route, it does not get picked up as a regex. Applying the hint from the documentation did not help at all:

WARNING The fastify package uses the latest version of the path-to-regexp package, which no longer supports wildcard asterisks . Instead, you must use parameters (e.g., (.), :splat*).

What I would like to achieve for my cat controller to match any request call that at least contains /cat in the url. So requests that should hit are:

http:localhost:3000/foo/bar/cat
http:localhost:3000/cat
http:localhost:3000/foo-bar/cat

By doing something like this:

// cat.controller.ts
@Controller('(.*)/cat/')
export class CatController {
    @Get()
    @Head()
    @Render('cat')
    root(@Param('catId') catId: string) {
        return {
            catId,
        };
    }
}

I can only reach the route on http:localhost:3000/(.*)/cat/ but not on the expected routes above.
However when setting the route to /*/cat/ in the controller it will match any request path also http:localhost:3000/foo/bar. For this usecase any routes matches because the wildcard is at the start of the route handler, but it does not respect, that the route should at least have cat in the request path.

I've provided a minimal reproducable stackblitz env for this: Stackblitz

Expected behavior

The expected behaviour is that the wildcard logic should apply for the given controllers.
