Description

See screenshot. Why didn't Harper recognized "Sencond" as a typo there? For example when I am writing this issue, it does underline it.

**Screenshots**

Image

It was in local html file opened in Brave. I will attach the file and the full text.

Research direction

Start by opening the attached writer.html in Brave and comparing its behavior with the text in text.txt, especially the word "Sencond". Trace how Harper processes this local HTML input and verify that the spelling mistake is underlined there when the issue is fixed.
