 Steps to reproduce:

 Create a new post or page.

 Add an Image block.

 Upload an image.

 In the Block Settings sidebar, enter custom Alt Text (alternative text).

 Without deleting the block, click Replace → Open Media Library and choose
 a different image.

 Observe the Alt Text field.

 Expected behavior:
 The Alt Text field should remain unchanged until the user manually edits
 or clears it.

 Actual behavior:
 When replacing an image inside the same block, the Alt Text resets to
 blank.
