Research direction

The report identifies the CompoundNouns rule and the phrase “be getting,” but provides no file or test location. Start by locating that rule and reproducing the false positive, then identify the relevant regression-test pattern. Done means the phrase is no longer flagged as “begetting” without breaking other compound-noun checks.
