I found a few more typos. Maybe one is left over from Arseniy's
review. Referencing the latest patch files from Andrey, here is what I
see:

in v20251216-0002-Add-gist_index_check-function-to-verify-Gi.patch:

> This function traverses GiST with a depth-fisrt search and checks

"fisrt" should be "first".

> This traverse takes lock of any page until some discapency found.

"discapency" should be "discrepancy"

> To re-check suspicious pair of parent and child tuples it aqcuires

"aqcuires" should be "acquires"

amcheck.sgml:

+ require tuple adjustement) and page graph respects balanced-tree

"adjustement" should be "adjustment"

Also the Makefile ordering is not quite right:

--- a/contrib/amcheck/Makefile
+++ b/contrib/amcheck/Makefile
@@ -4,16 +4,17 @@ MODULE_big = amcheck
OBJS = \
$(WIN32RES) \
verify_common.o \
+ verify_gist.o \
verify_gin.o \
verify_heapam.o \
verify_nbtree.o

We should put verify_gist.o after verify_gin.o.

Yours,
