 This ticket tracks proposal in Gutenberg to develop a new Core endpoint to
 fetch the total number of post counts by post status using
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_count_posts/
 wp_count_posts].

 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/66294

 There is a need for a performant post counts check in the block editor.
 See:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/65223#issuecomment-2381323815

 Contrast this feature with `$query->found_posts` which returns the total
 count for a specific query only and would degrade performance given `n`
 posts.
