Comment:

 == Reproduction Report
 The slug isn't usually saved until a user has intentionally tried to
 set/modify it, or the post published, as noted. Flagging for core
 committer input with `2nd-opinion`.

 === Environment
 - Hardware: MacBook Pro Apple M1 Pro
 - OS: macOS 12.6.2
 - Browser: Safari 16.2
 - Server: nginx/1.23.3
 - PHP: 7.4.33
 - WordPress: 6.2-alpha-54642-src (`trunk`)

 === Actual Results
 - ✅ In Quick Edit, the slug value is empty.
 - ✅ In the block editor's ''Post > URL'', the permalink displays a
 placeholder slug, but it is not saved to the post.
 - ✅ In the Classic Editor, the permalink displays a placeholder slug, but
 it is not saved to the post.
 - ✅ Created via WP-CLI, the slug value is empty.

 === Workaround
 - Set the slug through Quick Edit, by interacting with the Permalink value
 in the block editor (such as clicking inside the text field), or by
 modifying the default slug in the Classic Editor. See Additional Notes for
 details.

 === Additional Notes
 - Via Quick Edit, entering a slug value "reserves" that slug if not
 already in use. If the slug is in use, a numeric value is appended to the
 slug (e.g. `slug-already-used` -> `slug-already-used-1`). This is visible
 after expanding Quick Edit again.
 - Via the block editor's Settings > Post > URL, interacting with the
 Permalink field attempts to "reserve" the slug. Upon save, if the slug is
 in use, a numeric value is appended to the slug. The final slug is
 displayed in the URL field.
 - Via the Classic Editor, modifying the permalink and saving the draft
 attempts to "reserve" the slug. If the slug is in use, a numeric value is
 appended to the slug. The final slug is displayed in the permalink.
