Thanks! That should be easily solvable by adding
`font-lock-string-face-clangd-inactive' and the other relevant
inactive face variants to `flyspell-prog-text-faces'.
FWIW with eglot+clangd (and I guess other servers too) inactive code
regions already behave differently because they are not compiled, so
you won't get e.g. any flymake diagnostics or inlay hints, so it could
be a little less of an issue if something else like flyspell in this
case breaks.
