The Site Health tool serves two purposes:
- Provide site owners with information to improve the performance, reliability, and security of their site.
- Collect comprehensive debug information about the site.
By encouraging site owners to maintain their site and adhere to modern best practices, we ultimately improve the software hygeine of both the WordPress ecosystem, and the open internet as a whole.

Using the new fatal handler introduced in [44962], an email is sent to the admin when a fatal error occurs. This email includes a secret link to enter recovery mode. When clicked, the link will be validated and on success a cookie will be placed on the client, enabling recovery mode for that user. This functionality is executed early before plugins and themes are loaded, in order to be unaffected by potential fatal errors these might be causing.
When in recovery mode, broken plugins and themes will be paused for that client, so that they are able to access the admin backend despite of these errors. They are notified about the broken extensions and the errors caused, and can then decide whether they would like to temporarily deactivate the extension or fix the problem and resume the extension.
A link in the admin bar allows the client to exit recovery mode.

This adds code for soft verification of signatures for theme and plugin installs and updates, when provided by the update server. This experimental version does not reject unverified packages or failed signatures; it simply reports anonymous errors so we can evaluate its feasibility and detect incompatibilities.
This code relies on the new sodium_compat library for PHP versions prior to 7.2.

As of `@wordpress/api-fetch@3.0.0` (introduced in 44812), the `apiFetch` nonce middleware must have its nonce value assigned explicitly, and will no longer listen for heartbeat ticks automatically. This changeset adds an inline script for the default registration of the `api-fetch` script handle to assign the nonce value in response to the heartbeat action. In doing so, it removes the now-unused, misnamed `rest-nonce` property from the heartbeat response, whose original introduction served as temporary compatibility with earlier versions of `@wordpress/api-fetch`.

When a plugin states it requires a specific minimum PHP version (as defined in the `requires_php` field included in the plugin update API response), a user should not be allowed to update that plugin when the server does not satisfy the minimum PHP version.

- standardizes the Comment count string to `%s Comment in moderation', '%s Comments in moderation` so it can be bulk-updated
- adds the string as visually hidden text in the admin menu
- introduces an `updateInModerationText` JS simple function, responsible to correctly update all the related text using the data from the AJAX response
- adds a visually hidden text "1 Privacy Policy update" to the Privacy menu items count
- adds/improves translators comments
Changes that apply to all the count bubbles (Updates, plugins, etc.)
- makes the bubbles and their text slightly bigger
- improves the active menu item bubble contrast by changing the background color to red (option 2 in the screenshot attached in a previous comment)

Some "visual tabs" in the WordPress admin used links wrapped in a `h2` heading. While these tabs look like ARIA tabs, they're just navigation menus and should be marked-up as such to be correctly exposed to assistive technologies.
- changes the wrapping `<h2>` to a `<nav>` element: worth reminding `<nav>` elements also define ARIA landmarks
- adds an `aria-label` to the `<nav>` elements so they can be distinguished from other `<nav>` elements in the page
- adjusts the headings level in the Credits page

Old browsers didn't support the HTML placeholder attribute. For a number of years, `<label>` elements have been used in a few places in WordPress to emulate placeholders. It's time to improve semantics and interaction, use real placeholders when possible, and clean up some JavaScript.
- Quick Draft widget: it now uses visible `<label>` elements and a real `placeholder` attribute
- removes the related JavaScript
- Post title:
- keeps the "prompt" label for backwards compatibility
- improves the JavaScript to make the "prompt" label stay visible on focus and disappear when typing, like real placeholder do
- changes the post "prompt" text from "Enter title here" to "Add title" for consistency with the Block Editor
- cleans-up some CSS

Previously, only `a` and `br` tags were allowed in the `value` table cell for each field included in the HTML file generated when a user is exporting their personal data. Instead of relying on a hardcoded list of allowed tags, the `wp_kses()` call in `wp_privacy_generate_personal_data_export_group_html()` will now fallback to the default list of allowed tags (which includes `i`, `strong`, `em`, and other basic HTML formatting tags).
Also, a new context of `personal_data_export` will now be passed to the `wp_kses()` call. As a result, the list of HTML tags and attributes allowed in the export file can now be filtered using the `wp_kses_allowed_html` filter and checking for the `personal_data_export` context.

With the exception of the "Edit" link, the "row actions" controls in the Comments table behave differently depending if JavaScript support is on or off.
When JavaScript support is off, they behave like links. When JavaScript support is on, they behave like buttons and they need to be buttons or have an ARIA `role="button"` added via JavaScript.
Lastly, the buttons in the Reply/Quick Edit form and the "Add Comment" in the edit post page meta box need to be buttons.
