Research direction
Start by inspecting the `leftover` entry in `dictionary.dict` and the grammar-checker logic that proposes changing it to `left over`. Confirm the adjective usage in the reported sentence, then verify that this context is no longer flagged while genuine phrasal-verb cases remain covered by the existing checks.
