feat(rules): add is-is rule for the doubled copula - #9
Merged
Conversation
"What it is is..." and "the thing is, is that..." read as unedited no matter which of the three things produced them -- probed at 0 hits across ~1.9M words, so the bare pattern needs no anchor. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The "surface is rare enough that the pattern needs no anchor" framing explained a regex design choice instead of the tell itself; cut, kept the probe numbers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Frequency numbers don't belong in the flag's why -- most other rules' rationale explains the tell, not the probe. This one now matches. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
is-is(rhetorical-tic,warning): flags the doubled copula — "what it is is a mistake", "the thing is, is that…" — with no anchor, since the bare pattern scored 0 hits across ~1.9M words of probe text (public-domain prose + modern Wikipedia).Test plan
