Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue at the Instagram direct-message URL in Brave, using the main text writing box, and compare the behavior with the provided screenshots. The report names no repository file, test, or entry point, so first locate the browser-extension handling for Instagram's editor. Done means text in that box is recognized and Harper displays its feedback.
