What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds a spelling check to the project's tooling. It prevents developers from misspelling the word 'recurrence' as 'recurrance' in the codebase. There is no security relevance.
No security action required. Treat as a normal code-quality/linting improvement.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch extends tools/check-spelling.sh with an additional grep-based check that fails CI if the misspelling ‘recurrance’ appears anywhere in the repository. It is a pure code-quality/linting change with no functional, cryptographic, or network security impact.
