Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 While testing, I noticed that the editor falls back to the version of
 templates included in the theme if they are emptied in the site editor.

 In the screen shot above, the left window is viewing the home page (after
 emptying it) while logged in and the right window is while logged out.

 I like the idea for templates that aren't in the theme but for templates
 that are, it would be good to show what the logged out users view.

 To reproduce the screen shot:

 1. Activate 2025
 2. Open the site editor
 3. Edit the blog home page
 4. Switch to the code editor
 5. Delete all markup and save
 6. View the site while logged in
 7. View the site using a private/incognito window

 I did confirm the warning only shows if the template is empty, it doesn't
 show for empty template-parts. So the code is a good starting point.

 I'll leave some notes on the PR too for code related issues.
