 develop/pull/9125.diff

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 6.9-alpha-60093-src
 - PHP: 8.2.28
 - Server: nginx/1.29.0
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.5 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.28)
 - Browser: Chrome 137.0.0.0
 - OS: Windows 10/11

 === Testing Instructions
 - Following
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39625?replyto=10#comment:10 these
 instructions] for the Block Editor

 === Expected Results
 - Images should not be able to be uploaded

 === Actual Results
 1. ✅ In the classic Editor an error appears
 2. ❌ In the block Editor, no error appear. It's possible to set a txt
 file as the featured image
 (check Supp Artifacts).

 === Additional Notes
 - Not only not solving what @westonruter reported, but I could set the TXT
 as a featured image in blocks editor

 - For how this patch it is, it was only targeting Classic Editor, but
 Block editor in also relevant nowadays (in fact is tending to deprecate
 Classic one)
