Research direction

Reproduce the spelling warning for "wasm" in the grammar checker, noting that the report applies even when wasm-node/ is untouched. Trace the spelling-checking entry point and add coverage showing that the documented WebAssembly usage is not flagged; done means the example produces no spelling problems.
