Comment (by nikunj8866):

 @SirLouen Thank you for the detailed test report and for highlighting the
 side effect introduced by the patch.

 It does change the default behavior of sticky posts being prioritized at
 the top of the main REST response (/wp-json/wp/v2/posts), which was an
 intentional feature.

 So for users who are specifically querying posts by slug and need
 consistent results regardless of sticky status, the recommended approach
 is to use the **ignore_sticky=true** parameter. For example: **/wp-
 json/wp/v2/posts?slug=test-post&ignore_sticky=true**
