Research direction

Reproduce the report in Harper or its VS Code integration using the quoted text, focusing on the diagnostic for `Kamen's`. Confirm that the possessive name is incorrectly reported as repeated be-verb redundancy and that accepting the suggestion deletes it; done means this text produces no issue.
