reason_style

A policy diagnostic from deedglass policy lint and the policy routes.

Severity: warning

A reason does not follow the Deedglass voice: it has an exclamation mark, starts with a lowercase letter, does not end with a period, or uses a word Deedglass copy never uses. This check runs only when you ask for it, with deedglass policy lint --voice.
