Summary
Fixes the "Leave site? Changes you made may not be saved" warning appearing immediately on new posts when Custom Statuses is enabled, even when the user hasn't made any changes.
Root Cause
The block editor's subscribe handler was calling
editPost()to set the default custom status on every new post. This marked the post as "dirty" (having unsaved changes) even though the user hadn't actually changed anything.Solution
Check if the current status already matches the default before calling
editPost(). This prevents the unnecessary edit that was triggering the dirty state.Test plan
Closes #690
