"Potentially evaluated" is defined without a hyphen.

The change is correct, but the rationale should not be that it is defined without a hyphen. Rather, the rationale is that hyphens are not used for compounds modifying a noun if an adverb ending in "ly" is used. https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/hyphen-rules-open-closed-compound-words

Thanks, Hubert! The rationale is only in the pull request, though, and not in the commit messages, so if the changes are fine then this should be ready to go.
