Trac ticket: #66481

What

Adds a dedicated PHPUnit class for get_term_to_edit(), covering edit-context sanitization via the edit_term_name filter.

Test-only; no production code changes.

Why

get_term_to_edit() had no direct @covers coverage. It is used when preparing terms for editing in admin. Small helper coverage fits the #65819 test cleanup track.

How

Add tests/phpunit/tests/term/getTermToEdit.php with @covers ::get_term_to_edit, using a local category fixture and asserting the edit-context filter result.

Testing Instructions

docker compose up -d mysql
docker compose run --rm php ./vendor/bin/phpunit --filter Tests_Term_GetTermToEdit

Expected: OK (1 test, 2 assertions).

Thanks, @shail-mehta. Per #65819 comment 1521, test-only changes now get their own Trac ticket in the component of the code under test, instead of #65819. That now includes open PRs like this one.

Could you open a new ticket for this change (likely Taxonomy)? Please add the has-patch and has-unit-tests keywords, and update the Trac link in this PR's description. I will review it under the new ticket.
