Common abbreviations that end with . followed by a space — these must NOT be treated as sentence boundaries by truncateToSentenceBoundary, otherwise the description gets cut mid-sentence at e.g. … two propositions: the forestry deregulation (prop. (audit 2026-05-09 of news/2026-05-08-motions-en.html).
Token comparison is case-insensitive — abbreviations like prop. and Prop. are both treated as non-terminating. Matching is done by looking at the last whitespace-delimited word ending at the candidate sentence-end position; the word is lower-cased and looked up in SENTENCE_END_ABBREV_SET.
Note: case-insensitive matching means Mr.will also match an (extremely unlikely) in-word Imr. ending, but the practical risk is negligible because the word match is anchored to a whitespace boundary on the left, not just any character.
Keep the list short and high-signal — false-negatives (we miss an abbreviation and cut early) only mean the description fragment is a bit shorter; false-positives (we treat a real sentence end as an abbreviation and overrun) would push the description past hardMax, which is unrecoverable downstream.
