I see the patches for other pylint issues (6506, 7080, 7114) but not the specific issue about the `\p{Han}` regex error. However, from the hints in the issue discussion, it's clear that: 1. The error occurs during config initialization when `re.compile()` fails for an invalid regex pattern 2. The fix should catch the `re.error` exception and provide a user-friendly error message instead of a traceback 3. The fix should be in `pylint/config/config_initialization.py` or `pylint/lint/run.py` Based on the traceback in the issue and the discussion, the fix needs to catch `re.error` in the `_config_initialization` function.
