Comment:

 == Patch Test Report
 === Description
 ❌ This report can't fully validate that the tested patch works as
 expected.

 Patch tested: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/8713.diff

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 6.9-alpha-60093-src
 - PHP: 8.4.6
 - Server: nginx/1.27.5
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.5 / Client: mysqlnd 8.4.6)
 - Browser: Chrome 135.0.0.0
 - OS: Windows 10/11
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.2
 - MU Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * Test Reports 1.2.0

 === Actual Results
 1. 🟠 The issue is resolved with the patch but new issues arise

 === Additional Notes
 The intention of that parameter is to keep sticky on top by default in the
 main REST json result
 http://localhost:8889/wp-json/wp/v2/posts
 By changing this param, you solve this issue, but now the sticky post
 won't appear on top of the full post list, which is the intention of such.
