Comment (by rishabhwp):

 Even simply replacing:
 {{{#!php
 $nonce = (string) $nonce;
 }}}

 with

 {{{#!php
 $nonce = sanitize_text_field( $nonce );
 }}}

 would work, as sanitize_text_field() internally performs the type casting
 (see [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/6.8.2/src/wp-
 includes/formatting.php#L5631 formatting.php#L5631]).

 I’m happy to create a patch if that sounds reasonable.
