Typo in _SYNONYMOUS_TAGS sends legacy Cordova SDK events to the "other" bucket #125574

Description

@Sanjays2402

In src/sentry/utils/tag_normalization.py, the synonym table has:

"sentry.cordova": "sentery.javascript.cordova",

sentery is a typo. The normalized value then fails the tag.startswith("sentry.") check right below it, so normalize_sdk_tag("sentry.cordova") falls through to "other". Every other entry in the table resolves fine, and the existing tests in tests/sentry/utils/test_tag_normalization.py cover the other synonyms but not this one.

Quick repro (the module imports standalone, no Django needed):

from sentry.utils.tag_normalization import normalize_sdk_tag
normalize_sdk_tag("sentry.cordova")  # returns "other", should be "sentry.javascript.cordova"

Impact: events from the legacy Cordova SDK get bucketed as "other" in sdk.name_normalized, which feeds the grouping fingerprint SDK component, SDK ingest metrics, and processing-error detection. Cordova usage ends up undercounted and "other" inflated.

Observed on master at bb47162e (2026-09-25). The fix is a one-character kind of thing (sentery -> sentry), ideally with a test pinning the cordova synonym.
