 == Test Report

 Patch tested:
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/32940/32940.diff

 === Steps to Reproduce / Test

 1. Log in to the WordPress admin dashboard.
 2. Navigate to **Pages → Add New**.
 3. Open browser developer tools and inspect the **admin menu** markup.
 4. Locate the submenu `<a>` element for **Add New**.
 5. Check whether the link contains a stable `id` attribute.


 === Expected Results

 * Admin menu links should have stable, language-independent id attributes.
 * IDs should be based on internal menu slugs, not translated labels.

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 7.0-alpha-61215-src
 - PHP: 8.2.29
 - Server: nginx/1.29.4
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.7 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.29)
 - Browser: Chrome 143.0.0.0
 - OS: macOS
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-One 2.7
 - MU Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * Test Reports 1.2.1


 === Actual Results
 ❌ The patch does not work with the current WordPress version.


 The patch is outdated and incompatible with current WordPress core. A
 refreshed patch is required using menu slugs to ensure stable selectors
 for UI testing.
