28-35: Add missing imports and fix spacing around assignment to keep examples copy-pastable

The code snippet will not run as-is because Any, ConfigFlowResult, and vol are not imported, and there’s a PEP 8 spacing issue (OPTIONS_SCHEMA=vol.Schema). Tight examples that execute without edits are more useful.

-from homeassistant.config_entries import OptionsFlow
-
-OPTIONS_SCHEMA=vol.Schema(
+from typing import Any
+import voluptuous as vol
+from homeassistant.config_entries import ConfigFlowResult, OptionsFlow
+
+OPTIONS_SCHEMA = vol.Schema(

53-56: Tweak wording for subject/verb agreement

Use plural with “options” and simplify the sentence.

-The most common use-case for adding an update listener to a config entry is to reload the integration when the options has been changed.
+The most common reason to add an update listener is to reload the integration when the options have changed.

60-64: Apply PEP 8 spacing in the second schema declaration

Keep stylistic consistency with the previous fix.

-OPTIONS_SCHEMA=vol.Schema(
+OPTIONS_SCHEMA = vol.Schema(

92-94: Import types for the listener example to avoid undefined names

Readers copying this snippet will hit NameError for HomeAssistant and ConfigEntry.

```python
+from homeassistant.core import HomeAssistant
+from homeassistant.config_entries import ConfigEntry
+
 async def update_listener(hass: HomeAssistant, config_entry: ConfigEntry):
