Description

**What got flagged?**

**Why is this incorrect?**

Because "plugin" is part of "docker-compose-plugin" we know it can't possibly be a verb.

Research direction

Reproduce the warning using the sentence containing “docker-compose-plugin”, then trace the grammar rule that flags “plugin” and inspect how hyphenated compounds are handled. Done means the compound no longer produces this false positive while the reported behavior for standalone uses remains covered.
