Calling `register_rest_route()` too early in the loading process has the potential to cause some unintentional problems and pitfalls. Because `register_rest_route()` calls `rest_get_server()` (which creates the `WP_REST_Server` instance), calling the function directly and/or before `rest_api_init` should be discouraged.
For example, if `register_rest_route ()` is called on `init`, the REST API server instance is set up (and all functions added to `rest_api_init` and other related hooks are invoked), even though the current request may not be a REST request. Also, if `register_rest_route()` is called even earlier (say, in an `mu-plugin` file), required endpoints may be missing since normal plugins have not yet been loaded and have not had a chance to register their own action hooks.
This adds a `_doing_it_wrong()` notice the first time `register_rest_route()` is called before `rest_api_init` in a request to encourage best practices for registering REST API routes.

Both `wp_encode_emoji()` and `wp_staticize_emoji()` perform a PHP version check when deciding how to apply their behaviour, but this check only needs to happen once, rather than every time in their internal looks.
Moving the check outside of the loop reduces processing time by 50%.

At the start of `render_block()`, the `pre_render_block` filter allows the function to be short-circuited, and the `render_block_data` filter is applied to the `$block` parameter before it's processed.

WordPress has historically often used code like `preg_split( '/[\s,]+/', $var )` to parse a string of comma-separated values into an array. However, this approach was causing an empty string to not be parsed into an empty array as expected, but rather into an array with the empty string as its sole element.
This was among other areas causing problems in the REST API where passing an empty request parameter could cause that request to fail because, instead of it being ignored, that parameter would be compared against the valid values for it, which typically do not include an empty string.

Introduces in core new focus styles dedicated to Windows High Contrast mode. The
new styles use a transparent CSS outline as already explored in the Block Editor.
This first part covers some of the main user interface controls like buttons, links,
and media views elements. Other parts will be addressed in the next future.

them respect the correct order reliably at least within buttons.

In [41746], `wp_get_media_creation_timestamp()` was introduced to read the created timestamp for videos from `getID3` in meta whenever possible. This information is useful separately from the dates on the file itself.
This adds the same support audio files by utilizing `wp_get_media_creation_timestamp()` in `wp_read_audio_metadata()`.

This changeset introduces a `WP_Shutdown_Handler` class that detects fatal errors and which extension (plugin or theme) causes them. Such an error is then recorded, and an error message is displayed. Subsequently, in certain protected areas, for example the admin, the broken extension will be paused, ensuring that the website is still usable in the respective area. The major benefit is that this mechanism allows site owners to still log in to their website, to fix the problem by either disabling the extension or solving the bug and then resuming the extension.
Extensions are only paused in certain designated areas. The frontend for example stays unaffected, as it is impossible to know what pausing the extension would cause to be missing, so it might be preferrable to clearly see that the website is temporarily not accessible instead.
The fatal error recovery is especially important in scope of encouraging the switch to a maintained PHP version, as not necessarily every WordPress extension is compatible with all PHP versions. If problems occur now, non-technical site owners that do not have immediate access to the codebase are not locked out of their site and can at least temporarily solve the problem quickly.
Websites that have custom requirements in that regard can implement their own shutdown handler by adding a `shutdown-handler.php` drop-in that returns the handler instance to use, which must be based on a class that inherits `WP_Shutdown_Handler`. That handler will then be used in place of the default one.
Websites that would like to modify specifically the error template displayed in the frontend can add a `php-error.php` drop-in that works similarly to the existing `db-error.php` drop-in.
