> They might even get away with it.

Both "get away" and "get away with" are legitimate phrasal verbs and are correct in this context.

This is in the `CompoundNouns` linter.

Research direction

Start by locating the CompoundNouns linter and reproduce the reported sentence, “They might even get away with it.” Trace why “get away with” is suggested to change to “getaway”; done means this valid phrasal verb is no longer flagged while existing CompoundNouns behavior remains covered by the relevant tests.
