 ### Description
 This pull request fixes an issue where escaped shortcodes were being
 expanded in `get_the_excerpt()`.

 Previously, shortcodes wrapped in escaping functions (like `\[shortcode]`)
 were still processed and rendered, which is not the expected behavior.
 With this patch, escaped shortcodes are preserved as plain text in
 excerpts, ensuring consistency and preventing unexpected content output.

 ### Changes Made
 - Updated `get_the_excerpt()` logic to respect escaped shortcodes
 - Added automated PHPUnit tests to cover this scenario
 - Ensured backward compatibility with existing excerpts

 ### Testing
 - Added tests in `tests/phpunit/tests/shortcodes/` to verify escaped
 shortcodes remain unexpanded
 - Run PHPUnit to confirm all tests pass:
