Introduces comprehensive Jest tests for the Extra Fields block edit component. Refines card and compact styles to use CSS variables for colors and removes unnecessary width properties. Updates PHP render logic to pass block context for user resolution and improves key usage in React field rendering.
Simplifies the Extra Fields block render callback by removing the unused $block->context argument from Blocks::get_user_id. This change clarifies the function call and eliminates unnecessary code.
Introduces unit tests for the Activitypub Extra Fields block, covering rendering for blog and user contexts, maxFields attribute, empty fields, cards style, background color, and HTML content preservation. Enhances test coverage for block functionality and edge cases.
Enhanced the logic for detecting the post author in the Extra Fields block, including support for Query Loop context. Inspector controls are now always rendered, even when no author is present in inherit mode, improving recovery and usability. Added tests for context-based author detection and updated PHP render logic to skip output for ActivityPub requests and feeds.
Updated SCSS and built CSS files to style <p> elements within .activitypub-extra-field dd, ensuring proper spacing and removing bottom margin from the last paragraph. This improves readability and consistency for extra field content.

Updated block title, description, and UI labels from 'Fediverse Profile Fields' to 'Fediverse Extra Fields' for clarity. CSS class names and references in JS were also changed to match the new naming convention.
Changed the default block style from 'default' to 'compact', renamed the previous 'compact' style to 'stacked', and updated related CSS/SCSS to support the new naming and layout. This improves clarity and consistency in style options for the Fediverse Extra Fields block.

| @obenland "Compact" is now the default and the former default is now called "Stacked".  |

Consolidates block save logic by removing the unused save.js file and updating registration to use an inline save function returning null. Refactors CSS and SCSS for the extra fields block to make the default style compact (table layout), and adjusts stacked and card styles for consistency. Adds support for a configurable namespace in API requests.
The extra fields block now displays a link to the appropriate profile settings page when no extra fields are found, based on user type. Error messages are improved with sprintf for translation, and the block UI is updated to remove unused icons. ActivityPub options now include profile URLs for both user and blog types.
Added mocks for sprintf, Button, and useOptions to improve test coverage. Split the empty fields message into two separate assertions for clarity.

Probably good enough for now. It would be nice to have more custimzeability, maybe a nicer loading state, keeping queried data stored for the session, etc, but this works.
