Research direction

Start by reading harper-core/src/linting/missing_preposition.rs and reproduce the diagnostic for “Each agent has specific tools and tasks orchestrated through a crew workflow.” Determine why this sentence is treated as missing a preposition. Done means the correct sentence is no longer flagged while the intended missing-preposition checks still work.
