Discussion 💬

Discussion on Ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. #49442 (parse_blocks() Filter)

Ticket #49442, which proposes adding a filter to the result of parse_blocks(), is currently assigned to the 6.9 milestone. During the discussion, it was noted that the ticket still lacks test coverage (needs-test-info).

Creating a minimal test case was suggested to help move the ticket forward. It was also recommended to raise the topic in the Gutenberg repository for broader feedback and discussion.

Open Floor 🎙️

Improvements to the Docker Environment

@westonruter is working on several enhancements to the built-in Docker environment for wordpress-develop. The goal is to address various minor issues and “paper cuts” encountered during development. The first pull request with initial changes is ready for review, with more substantial improvements to follow in separate PRs. Feedback and reviews are welcomed to help improve the development environment for everyone involved.

PHPStan Code Quality

@justlevine has submitted several small pull requests aimed at improving code quality using PHPStan for version 6.9. The PRs are intentionally kept small to minimize conflicts and speed up integration. Support from reviewers and committers is appreciated to help keep the codebase cleaner and more maintainable. See #63268

Props to @francina and @audrasjb for review.
