fast wrap for `*`/`_` not working (same with multiple chars - `**`/`__`)

[JosefLitos]

Description

fast wrap won't trigger upon pressing keybind when trying to use it for * or **/__ (markdown)

Mapping bug

No response

Steps to reproduce

Try to do a fast wrap of ** or even just *

Minimal config

vim.cmd [[set runtimepath=$VIMRUNTIME]]
vim.cmd [[set packpath=/tmp/nvim/site]]
local package_root = '/tmp/nvim/site/pack'
local install_path = package_root .. '/packer/start/packer.nvim'
local function load_plugins()
  require('packer').startup {
    {
      'wbthomason/packer.nvim',
      {
        'windwp/nvim-autopairs',
      },
      -- ADD PLUGINS THAT ARE _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE
    },
    config = {
      package_root = package_root,
      compile_path = install_path .. '/plugin/packer_compiled.lua',
      display = { non_interactive = true },
    },
  }
end
_G.load_config = function()
    local nap = require 'nvim-autopairs'
    nap.setup {
        ts_config = {
            lua = { 'string' }, -- it will not add pair on that treesitter node
            javascript = { 'template_string' },
        },
        disable_filetype = { 'rnvimr', 'NvimTree' },
        fast_wrap = {
            map = '<M-w>',
            chars = { '{', '[', '(', '"', "'", '`', '**', '_' },
            pattern = '[\'")>%]},: ]',
            end_key = '$',
            before_key = 'q',
            after_key = 'e',
            keys = "qwertasdfgzxcvb12345[poiu';lkjh/.,mny-0987",
            check_comma = true,
            highlight = 'IncSearch',
            highlight_grey = '',
            use_virt_lines = false,
        },
        ignored_next_char = '[^.,;>)%]}]',
    }
    local Rule = require 'nvim-autopairs.rule'
    local cond = require 'nvim-autopairs.conds'
    nap.add_rules {
        Rule('**', '**', 'markdown'):with_pair(cond.not_after_regex '[^.,;>)%]}]'),
        Rule('_', '_', 'markdown'):with_pair(cond.not_after_regex '[^.,;>)%]}]'),
    }
end
if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
  print("Installing nvim-autopairs and dependencies.")
  vim.fn.system { 'git', 'clone', '--depth=1', 'https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim', install_path }
end
load_plugins()
require('packer').sync()
vim.cmd [[autocmd User PackerComplete ++once echo "Ready!" | lua load_config()]]

I would like to at least understand why singular _ does wrap, but * doesn't.

This bot should've been automatically marked as useless because it has not had any useful impact on the issue, let alone the comment and email spam forced by this "feature".
