Description
Tested name: "LessFlux Image & Video Optimizer – WebP, AVIF, CDN & Lazy Load"
This is an already-published plugin on wordpress.org live.
Expected: Namer tool flags it as an existing plugin / slug conflict.
Actual: Verdict "Generally Allowable." Only flagged "LessFlux" as a trademark term, suggested slug lessflux-image-video-optimizer (unaware less-flux already exists).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the report in the Plugin Namer tool with the exact published plugin name and inspect the existing-name and slug-conflict detection entry points. Done means the tool flags the existing WordPress.org plugin and recognizes the corresponding slug conflict instead of returning “Generally Allowable.”
