Research direction

Start by locating the MissingTo rule and its existing tests, then reproduce the report with the example sentence “He wanted revenge.” Confirm that the rule distinguishes revenge used as a noun from cases that require “to,” and add or update coverage so this sentence is no longer flagged.
