Non-breaking spaces and short-word connections
Keep intended semantic pairs together without turning whole paragraphs into unbreakable text.
Understand the principle
A no-break connection controls a permitted line boundary. It does not simply mean a visually wider space. Unicode distinguishes ordinary spaces and characters that inhibit breaking; language and publication policy determine where to use them.
Look in Typography. The publication concept and a plugin issue identifier are related, but are not interchangeable.

Review it in Avellio 2.0
Check the pair, language and house style. Use the appropriate supported InDesign character or formatting deliberately, then inspect nearby reflow. Review short-word rules against the resolved locale and configured word list. Read Found and Suggested when offered, or Review in context. Check Text locale; the recommendation itself changes no text. After an intentional manual edit, inspect again.

If no suitable supported action exists, make a justified manual decision in InDesign or retain the occurrence. After an edit, inspect again and check nearby composition.

Keep the number and unit together using No Break or an appropriate nonbreaking space.

When the difference can be intentional
A protected sequence that is too long can create composition pressure. Do not join every short word or all numeric text indiscriminately.
What should I verify after deciding?
Preserve meaning and the intended design. If you edited the document, obtain fresh results for the intended scope and policy. If you kept the occurrence, record a supported review decision when useful. A smaller filtered count is not proof of a repair.
