Description

In the is_singular() summary the text does not end at the first dot.
Is the query for an existing single post of any post type (post, attachment, page, ... )?

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_singular/

I also created a core ticket as it may be quicker to correct the inline docs then the parser. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39948

I have not checked for any other cases.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the parser handles the is_singular() summary and compare its output with the documentation at the linked developer.wordpress.org reference. Check core ticket 39948 first, since correcting the inline documentation may resolve the issue instead. Done means the summary ends at the intended first sentence boundary, with any related cases considered.
