Comment (by yusufmudagal):

 Tested PR: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/12071

 Environment:
 - macOS 26.5.1
 - PHP 8.5.5
 - WordPress develop checkout
 - Tested PR commit: 896ab221ed
 - Compared against trunk: 3f1fbe7e8d

 Testing performed:
 - Applied the PR locally in a clean worktree.
 - Confirmed the patch only changes `src/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-
 screen.php`.
 - Confirmed the change updates the three deprecated contextual help
 docblocks from method-call `@see` references like
 `get_current_screen()->add_help_tab()` to valid linkable references:
   - `get_current_screen()`
   - `WP_Screen::add_help_tab()`
   - `WP_Screen::remove_help_tab()`
 - Confirmed `WP_Screen::add_help_tab()` and `WP_Screen::remove_help_tab()`
 exist in the same class.
 - Confirmed `get_current_screen()` exists in `src/wp-
 admin/includes/screen.php`.
 - Confirmed the runtime replacement strings passed to
 `apply_filters_deprecated()` are unchanged, so this is documentation-only
 and does not change deprecated filter behavior.

 Local checks:
 - `php -l src/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-screen.php` passed.
 - `git diff --check origin/trunk...HEAD -- src/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-
 screen.php` passed.

 Result:
 The patch works as expected. The updated inline documentation should
 resolve to the correct Developer Hub references while preserving the
 existing runtime deprecation messages.

 Note:
 GitHub Actions currently shows all checks passing on the ticket/PR.
