Description
> the US, Canada, and Mexico are still **quite** close allies
This is a correct use of "quite" and "quiet" would be ungrammatical here.

Research direction
The report identifies false positives from the `QuiteQuiet` rule but names no files or tests. Start by locating that rule and its Rust tests, then reproduce the three reported examples. Done means these uses of “quite” no longer trigger the rule while genuine quite/quiet mistakes remain covered.
