Description

**What got flagged?**
`want`

**Why is this incorrect?**
Although Harper recognizes 'phase' as a verb, in this context it is forming a noun with another word.

**Example of correct usage:**
```md
I want phase one finished by the end of this week.
```

Research direction

Start by locating the MissingTo rule in Harper's Rust code and inspect how it handles “want” before “phase one.” Reproduce the issue with the provided Markdown example, then verify that the phrase is no longer flagged while the intended “want to” detection still works.
