This provides more flexibility when writing tests and benefits from running in a front-end context which is necessary for some tests like checking that updates are supported. Additionally, this provides a more robust interface for developers who want to integrate with Site Health tests.
Because the `wp/v2` endpoint is reserved for modeling core entities, site health is registered in its own `wp-site-health/v1` namespace.
The existing ajax actions have been maintained for backward compatibility.

In WordPress 4.4 the REST API was first introduced. A few releases later in WordPress 4.7, the Content API endpoints were added, paving the way for Gutenberg and countless in-site experiences. In the intervening years, numerous plugins have built on top of the REST API. Many developers shared a common frustration, the lack of external authentication to the REST API.
This commit introduces Application Passwords to allow users to connect to external applications to their WordPress website. Users can generate individual passwords for each application, allowing for easy revocation and activity monitoring. An authorization flow is introduced to make the connection flow simple for users and application developers.
Application Passwords uses Basic Authentication, and by default is only available over an SSL connection.

Previously, the search controller infrastructure required that the id property was an integer. This prevents data models that use a string id from utilizing the search infrastructure.
This commit lifts the restraint that search handlers return integer ids. This will allow for the Post Formats search handler coming in 5.6 to use slugs instead of creating fake ids.

This method is useful whenever a JSON Schema needs to be converted to a format suitable for argument validation with `WP_REST_Request`. Moving the logic into a standalone function allows developers to use it outside of the `WP_REST_Controller` context.

Support for the `uniqueItems` keyword was added in [48357], but wasn't included in the list of permitted keywords for `WP_REST_Controller::get_endpoint_args_for_item_schema()`. This prevented the keyword from being automatically supported if specified in a controller's item schema.

Gutenberg no longer uses the assets field to fetch the assets for the installed block so this field can be dropped from the endpoint. This allows us to reintroduce it at a later point without needing to worry about backward compatibility.

The REST API treats routes without a permission_callback as public. Because this happens without any warning to the user, if the permission callback is unintentionally omitted or misspelled, the endpoint can end up being available to the public. Such a scenario has happened multiple times in the wild, and the results can be catostrophic when it occurs.
For REST API routes that are intended to be public, it is recommended to set the permission callback to the `__return_true` built in function.

The filter is the callback function added with `add_filter()`, therefore the hook passes a value to the filter, and the filter returns a value to change its behaviour.

Currently themes can declare support for a given feature by using add_theme_support(). This commit adds a register_theme_feature() API that allows plugins and WordPress Core to declare a list of available features that themes can support.

“The WordPress open source community cares about diversity. We strive to maintain a welcoming environment where everyone can feel included.”
With this commit, all occurrences of “whitelist” and “blacklist” (with the single exception of the `$new_whitelist_options` global variable) are removed. A new ticket has been opened to explore renaming the `$new_whitelist_options` variable (#50434).
Changing to more specific names or rewording sentences containing these terms not only makes the code more inclusive, but also helps provide clarity. These terms are often ambiguous. What is being blocked or allowed is not always immediately clear. This can make it more difficult for non-native English speakers to read through the codebase.
Words matter. If one contributor feels more welcome because these terms are removed, this was worth the effort.

Every block has a different set of attributes. These attributes are specified as a JSON Schema object. Previously, every block registered its own block renderer route using its attributes for the schema. This allowed for the attributes to be validated using the built in endpoint validation rules. It had the unfortunate side effect, however, of creating a large number of nearly identical REST API routes, one for each dynamic block. Each registered route has a performance impact. As the number of server side blocks goes up, this becomes more and more of an issue.
Now, we register a single block renderer route and dynamically validate the attributes based on the selected block.
