New description:

 Originally reported on https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/72690

 When resolving or reopening a note, the comment meta `_wp_note_status` is
 updated. This itself works correctly, but a 403 error occurs with a
 message `Sorry, you are not allowed to edit the _wp_note_status custom
 field.`.

 My understanding is that because the meta key has an underscore prefix, it
 is treated as a protected meta key. Therefore, I believe that the
 `auth_callback` that was deleted [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/10280#discussion_r2433226393 here] is still necessary.
