Description
I know the title is not easy to follow, but it is easy to see in this screenshot.
On the left, we have code that references data_14001c400, which is a pointer and its content is a pointer to string:
14001c400 char const (* data_14001c400)[0x3d] = data_14001c3c0 {"Please enter your Username and p…"}
We should annotate the string contents in the code to make it more readable

Research direction
No source file, entry point, or test is named. Start by reproducing the screenshot case and tracing the decompiler or display path that renders references to pointer-to-string data. Done means the generated code annotates the referenced string contents while preserving the existing pointer representation.
