Research direction

The issue provides only an image and names no files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce the warning for sentence-initial “Backup” followed by a modal verb, then locate the grammar rule responsible for the “back up” suggestion. Done means the valid usage is no longer incorrectly flagged while the intended correction still works.
