Dear Org Mode maintainers,

Org mode version 9.8.10, GNU Emacs 30.2 (build 1, aarch64-apple-darwin23.2.0, 
NS appkit-2487.30 Version 14.2 (Build 23C64)) of 2025-12-06

When `org-agenda-check-type` signals an error, the message is displayed as:

Not allowed in ’todo’-type agenda buffer or component

The issue is that both quotation marks are right curly quotation marks 
(U+2019). The opening quotation mark should instead be a left curly quotation 
mark (U+2018), so the message should display as:

Not allowed in ‘todo’-type agenda buffer or component

The relevant source line in `org-agenda.el` is line 7781:

(error "Not allowed in '%s'-type agenda buffer or component" org-agenda-type)

Perhaps using the usual Emacs Lisp quotation form, with a backquote before `%s` 
and an apostrophe after it,

(error "Not allowed in `%s'-type agenda buffer or component" org-agenda-type)

would produce the correctly curved quotation marks when `text-quoting-style` is 
set to `curve`?

Best wishes,

Stevan
