Summary
The quote alternative in ATTRIBUTION ("[^"]*") sits inside \b( ... )\b. \b next to a " only matches when a word character touches the quote on the outside, so a normal quotation (space before the opening quote, space or punctuation after the closing one) is never recognized. Quoted text is read as the writer's own claim.

classifyClaim('The banner reads "the site is live".')?.type; // "T1"
unitIsClaimable('x"the site is live"y'); // false — only matches with letters glued on both sidesISACloseGate's completionUnit uses the same guard, so a quoted "DONE" in a sentence that merely mentions the word counts as a completion claim and can trigger a block.
Suggested fix
Move the quote alternative outside the \b group (curly quotes added as well, since many writers and locales use them):
const ATTRIBUTION =
/\b(you\s+(said|asked|told|mentioned)|per\s+the|according\s+to|the\s+(ticket|PR|docs?|user|issue|spec)\s+(say|says|said|claims?))\b|"[^"]*"|“[^”]*”/i;
Applied locally with tests; the existing hook suite stays green. Measured over ~1,700 archived final responses: the only units that stop counting as claims are ones containing a quotation. Trade-off, same as the original intent: a real claim that also contains a quote in the same unit is skipped.
