This PR backports core PHP changes from Gutenberg
(https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/74968) that remove the
overlay experiment and migrate navigation overlay patterns to use the core
namespace.
This backport includes the following core changes:
- Navigation Pattern Category: Adds the navigation block pattern category
registration in block-patterns.php.
- Navigation Overlay Patterns: Adds five new navigation overlay block
patterns.
- Template Part Area Constant: Adds the
WP_TEMPLATE_PART_AREA_NAVIGATION_OVERLAY constant and corresponding area
definition in block-template-utils.php to support navigation overlay
template parts.
This backport is based on changes from WordPress/gutenberg#74968
Testing
- Verify navigation pattern category appears in the block pattern inserter
- Verify all five navigation overlay patterns are available and render
correctly
- Verify navigation overlay template parts can be created and used
- Test pattern insertion in the site editor
