Comment (by vineet2003):

 I propose adding an optional $return_detailed parameter to the
 update_post_meta function. By default, it would retain the current
 behavior to ensure backward compatibility (false for failure or no change,
 true for success). When $return_detailed is set to true, the function
 could return a detailed array with a status and reason field, clearly
 distinguishing between failure, no change, and successful updates. This
 way, developers can opt into the enhanced feedback while existing
 implementations remain unaffected.
