fix-spelling

First try rewording the sentence so the flagged word disappears using words cspell already accepts. If the word must stay, add a covering dictionary, add the word to the narrowest cspell.json scope, match it with a regex pattern, or use an inline cspell comment as a last resort.

Add the word at the narrowest correct scope: an inline cspell:words comment for one file, the package-level cspell.json for one package, or the root cspell.json for words used across packages. Keep the words array alphabetically sorted.

Reword first whenever the flagged word is prose that can be naturally rephrased, including British spellings replaced with American forms. Only add words when the token is an identifier, proper noun, package name, or precise technical term with no natural substitute.

Use a patterns entry when the flagged token is a structured string appearing in many places, such as framework-generated identifiers, API tokens, date format strings, or vendor event names. Define the pattern and reference it in ignoreRegExpList.

This workflow resolves everything toward American English, replacing forms like colour and cancelled with color and canceled. British spellings should never be added to dictionaries or words arrays; they are fixed by rewording to the US form.
