Description

## Description

Foo "bar." Hello "World" goes. Third quote: "Clears custom."

Research direction

Start by reproducing the false positive with the supplied Markdown sample, then investigate how the three-consecutive-quotes case produces the missing-termination diagnostic. Done means the valid quoted text no longer receives that diagnostic, with the reported case covered by a regression check.
