Description
**What got flagged?**
> This builds themes of spiritual (in addition to personal) failure
> This builds themes of spiritual, in addition to personal, failure
"To" was flagged and suggested to be replaced with "too".
When the clause does not end after the adjective, the linter correctly picks up on the fact that the to is not meant to be a too, but when it does (as in a parenthetical or nonrestrictive comma clauses), it incorrectly suggests replacing the to.
**Why is this incorrect?**
Just reading it, this is not correct:
"this builds themes of spiritual, in addition too personal, failure"
**Example of correct usage:**
No correction should be offered here.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the rule that suggests replacing “to” with “too,” then reproduce the parenthetical and nonrestrictive-clause examples from the issue. Done means neither example receives a correction suggestion, with a regression test covering both forms.
