Tool does not detect simple person names

[UltimateCedarFox]

Maybe I did something wrong. If that's the case, please point it out.

I ran the scan command on a very simple example use case of mine. The input file is a markdown document representing a ticket exported from some project management software. The file contains different made up person names and a made up company name.

The scan command found none of the person names and wrongly flagged an ISO formatted date as a person. It did however find the company name, although with a low score.

Running the anonymize command on the same file reports 2 found entities in the console, then opens the web UI which just shows "Loading..." in the review area indefinitely.

I ran the tool on Windows 11 with a fresh install of node v24.19.0
