  • Fix grammar/capitalization: "Does Not Equals" → "Does Not Equal", "Github" → "GitHub", title-case placeholders → sentence case
  • Simplify aria-labels: remove verbose "Toggle sort leaderboards by" prefixes
  • Standardize error messages to friendlier "Couldn't" pattern (replacing "Failed to" / "Unable to")
  • Remove "Are you sure" anti-pattern from 4 confirmation dialogs
  • Improve 12 empty state messages with contextual hints (e.g. "No tables found" → "No tables found in this schema")
  • Add UX_COPY_DEFERRED.md tracking 14 lower-confidence items that need design/product review

String-only changes across 29 files in web-common and web-admin. No logic or behavior changes.

Checklist:

  • Covered by tests
  • Ran it and it works as intended
  • Reviewed the diff before requesting a review
  • Checked for unhandled edge cases
  • Linked the issues it closes
  • Checked if the docs need to be updated. If so, create a separate Linear DOCS issue
  • Intend to cherry-pick into the release branch
  • I'm proud of this work!
