Research direction
Start with the linked w3c/alreq#222 issue, which this report identifies as the tracking discussion, and review the Adlam and N’Ko examples attached here. No repository file, test, or implementation entry point is named; done would require an agreed resolution to the cursive-shaping gap rather than an isolated edit in this repository.
