Research direction
Use the two examples in the issue as the initial acceptance cases: “to she” and “showed myself.” First locate the repository’s grammar-rule entry points and existing pronoun-related tests, since no file or test is named here. Done means both incorrect forms are flagged without regressing valid pronoun usage.
