Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

I have created a rule to ensure all the list items have ending punctuation at the end. Vale is able to run this rule but the output has some discrepancies.

Rule

extends: existence
message: "Must put the ending punctuation at the end of a list item."
link: ''
nonword: true
level: error
scope: list
tokens:
  - '[^.!?]\s*$'

    - Nested item with punctuation.
    - Nested without punctuation

        - Double nested without punctuation.

    ```

## Mixed Content Lists

- Mixed content with **bold**, _italic_, `code`, [link](http://example.com), and punctuation.
- Mixed content without ending punctuation includes **bold**, _italic_, `code`, and [link](http://example.com)

Remember, this text is designed to test the edge cases of your Vale rule for list punctuation. It includes various types of lists, nested lists, and list items with different types of content and formatting.

Output

Issues

• In output, if we see the first error which is 8:18, the column number is incorrect. It is picking the first n character instead of last.
• If we the second error which is 9:1, this is false positive. It should not through the error on this line because it already has ending punctuation.
