Comment (by nikunj8866):

 I agree with @westonruter, the `wp_insert_post_data` filter is indeed the
 right place for developers to modify data before insertion or update.

 I also think having a `pre_post_insert` action would be valuable. It could
 serve as a companion to `pre_post_update`, allowing developers to run
 additional logic before a new post is inserted.

 For example, one practical **use case** would be enforcing a **unique post
 title** cross the site for a specific post type. The `pre_post_insert`
 action would make this type of validation straightforward to implement.
