Comment:

 `edit_form_after_title` is a classic editor PHP hook that fires within the
 post editing form rendered by `edit-form-advanced.php`. The Block Editor
 (Gutenberg) replaces that PHP-rendered form with a React-based JavaScript
 UI, so classic editor hooks like this one are not expected to fire.

 This appears to be intended behavior rather than a bug. For extending the
 Block Editor, the recommended approach is to use the Block Editor's own
 extensibility APIs such as [SlotFills](https://developer.wordpress.org
 /block-editor/reference-guides/slotfills/) (e.g., `PluginPostStatusInfo`,
 `PluginDocumentSettingPanel`).

 Changing type from **defect** to **enhancement**. Needs dev feedback on
 whether providing a Block Editor equivalent for this hook is something
 worth pursuing.
