Summary
typos does not flag intropsecting (transposition of s and p) as a misspelling of introspecting.
Reproduction
$ echo "intropsecting" | typos -
$ echo $?
0
Expected: intropsecting → introspecting
Context
Found in the wild at mozilla/remote-settings — a comment containing intropsecting was not caught by typos in their make lint pipeline.
The maintainer noted that similar transpositions (e.g., seerver) are also missed, suggesting this may be a broader gap in the built-in dictionary for letter-swap typos in longer words.
