 == Reproduction & Test Report
 === Description
 This report validates whether the indicated patch works as expected.

 Patch tested:
 Fix: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/62468/fix-wp-
 update-post.patch
 Tests: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/8118.diff

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 6.9-alpha-60093-src
 - PHP: 8.2.29
 - Server: nginx/1.29.1
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.6 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.29)
 - Browser: Chrome 140.0.0.0
 - OS: Windows 10/11

 - MU Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * Testing Dolly 1.0.0
   * Test Reports 1.2.0

 === Testing Instructions
 1. The ones provided in the OP

 === Actual Results
 1.  ✅ Issue resolved with patch.

 === Additional Notes
 - @aguerra07 why would we be interested on preserving the date on
 `publish` or `private`?

 - I'm going to do a little revamp on the test and take the advantage that
 its another `wp_update_post` test coverage, to merge all into a new file
 made for this. I believe that this function is relevant enough to have its
 own testing file.
