Subject: [PATCH] Add Markdown round-trip contract tests and harden WP Origin
 plugin

The round-trip tests lock in the byte-preservation promise: Markdown that
enters WordPress and comes back out must be identical, and block markup that
is exported to Markdown and pushed back must produce the same blocks.
29 test cases cover paragraphs, headings, lists, tables, blockquotes,
images, links, gutenberg fences (opaque unsupported-block preservation),
front matter, and mixed content.

The plugin gains several stability improvements: the repository now lives
in a per-request temp directory that is always cleaned up in a finally
block, binary Git responses bypass WordPress REST JSON encoding via a
rest_pre_serve_request hook, permission checks cover both editing existing
posts and creating new ones, and metadata values are correctly wrapped in
arrays as BlocksWithMetadata requires.

+/**
+ * Round-trip contract tests for the Markdown component.
+ *
+ * The rule: a conversion that starts in format A and returns to format A must
+ * reproduce the exact same bytes for every case listed here. If a case cannot
+ * be round-tripped without loss, it must instead be preserved as an opaque
+ * `gutenberg` fence and tested explicitly under "opaque preservation".
+ *
+ * Two contracts are tested:
+ *
+ *   md -> wp -> md  (Markdown to block markup and back to Markdown)
+ *   wp -> md -> wp  (Block markup to Markdown and back to block markup)
+ *
+ * "md -> wp -> md" is the primary contract for the WP Origin workflow: agents
+ * edit Markdown locally, push to WordPress, then pull back. The pulled
+ * Markdown must match what was pushed, byte for byte.
+ *
+ * "wp -> md -> wp" tests that a WordPress post exported via WP Origin and then
+ * pushed back produces the same block markup. Leading/trailing whitespace
+ * inside block comments is normalized away because WordPress itself normalizes
+ * it on next save.
