Comment:

 Thanks for that review @marybaum. Sorry if any of the information I've
 shared was misleading, but we're not looking to standardize the errors
 shown on the front end as they're defined on a per theme basis. It would
 be great for there to be one, consistent notice, but that's outside the
 scope of this ticket. We're looking to add a protective measure to avoid
 encountering those notices when possible.

 Here we're mainly concerned with the warnings shown in [attachment
 :"activate-error.png"] and [attachment:"plugin-screen.png"].

 I've been thinking it over a bit and and discussed with @chanthaboune. For
 the first one, we're going with "Error: This theme (TT1 Blocks) uses Full
 Site Editing, which requires the Gutenberg plugin to be activated."

 > New: Gutenberg is required for your theme to work correctly.
 Deactivating it could disable parts of your site.

 There are some other strings in Core using "your" but it feels a bit
 strange to me in general as the user viewing the notice may not always be
 the person that actually owns the site. The phrasing we've decided on for
 this warning is "This plugin is required for the active theme to work
 correctly. Deactivating is not recommended." I've opened
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/32873 a PR on GitHub for this
 one], as the best place to put this is in the plugin itself.
