Research direction

Start by reading the keyboard's existing proofreading or text-processing entry points and check how external libraries are added to the Android project. Then review Harper's integration options and compare them with the LanguageTool alternative mentioned in the issue. Done means users can get grammar checks powered by Harper; the issue does not specify UI behavior or acceptance tests.
