On Wednesday, started trying to figure out why (as reported by EH) some hyphs with no primary stress were being missed in the diagnostic. It turns out that there was one minor problem with a regex, but there’s a broader issue: the conditions under which we are looking for them don’t include all the cases in which this error occurs. More to do here.
On Thursday, created a new diagnostic which simply looks for any word which looks like it has more than one syllable, but doesn’t have a main stress. It seems the specific conditions under which SK believed that main stresses may have been omitted (due to schwa-insertion) are not the only situations in which the problem arises, so a more general catch-all is probably better.
