#64724: WordPress Importer does not remap noteId in block metadata when reassigning
comment IDs

 Reporter:  tenacityio    |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect (bug)  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Import        |    Version:  6.9.1
 Severity:  minor         |   Keywords:  notes import
  Focuses:                |
--------------------------+-----------------------------
 **Steps to reproduce:**

 1. Create a post/page with block notes (WP 6.9 Notes feature)
 2. Export via Tools → Export
 3. Import the WXR file into another site (or same site) via the WordPress
 Importer
 4. Open the imported post in the editor

 **Expected:** Notes appear attached to their respective blocks

 **Actual:** Notes import as comments but are unlinked from blocks. The
 importer assigns new comment_id values but does not update the
 corresponding "noteId":N values in block metadata within post_content.

 **Workaround:** Post-import script that remaps noteId references in
 post_content to the new comment_id values by matching on insertion order.
