Contributor guide
Research direction
Search the grammar rules and regression tests for the reported sentence and the "side affect" suggestion. Start with the rule that treats "affect" and "effect" as interchangeable, then add a focused test showing that "side effect" is accepted as a noun and verify the incorrect suggestion no longer appears.
