Walkthrough

Textual updates across many pgAdmin modules: grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and message wording corrections in UI labels, help strings, and error/flash messages; one flash call now includes a success message type. No functional or control-flow changes.

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Reverse‑engineered phrasing fixes web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/casts/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/fts_configurations/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/fts_parsers/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/fts_templates/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/roles/__init__.py	Replaced "reversed engineered" with hyphenated "reverse‑engineered" in SQL-generation error messages.

General error/message wording & punctuation web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/misc/bgprocess/processes.py, web/pgadmin/tools/import_export/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/tools/maintenance/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/utils/__init__.py	Standardized phrasing (e.g., "given" → "specified"), fixed "can not" → "cannot", and added/adjusted trailing punctuation in error/log messages.
MFA flash message correction web/pgadmin/authenticate/mfa/views.py	Fixed message punctuation/quote and added MessageType.SUCCESS as the flash category when registering an already-registered MFA method.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10 minutes

• Attention areas:
  • Confirm MessageType.SUCCESS was imported/available where added in web/pgadmin/authenticate/mfa/views.py.
  • Verify placeholder formatting (e.g., '{0}') remains correct after wording changes.
  • Ensure hyphenation changes are consistent with style guidelines used elsewhere.

web/pgadmin/tools/debugger/__init__.py (2)

213-218: Keyboard shortcut label now matches sentence‑case style

gettext('Switch panel') aligns with other shortcut labels like "Step into", "Next tab", etc., and is a pure wording tweak with no behavioral impact.

---

1656-1661: Error message wording improvement is safe

Changing the message to gettext('Error setting the value') improves grammar while preserving meaning; no surrounding logic or response structure is altered.

web/pgadmin/browser/register_editor_preferences.py (2)

333-334: LGTM! Improved grammar and clarity.

The capitalization and addition of the article "a" make this help text more grammatically correct and easier to read.

---

358-358: LGTM! Clearer explanation of zero-value behavior.

The rewording makes the zero-value behavior more explicit and easier for users to understand.
