 Steps to Reproduce

   1. Go to `http://localhost:8889/wp-admin`
   2. Create or edit a post/page
   3. Switch to the Classic Editor (Visual tab)
   4. Select some text (e.g. "click here") OR place the cursor in the
 editor
   5. Click the Insert/Edit Link button (chain icon in the toolbar)
   6. In the URL field, type: `HTTPS://example.com` (uppercase protocol —
 common on mobile keyboards with auto-capitalization)
   7. Click outside the URL field / press Tab (triggers the blur event →
 `correctURL` runs)

 Expected: URL remains `HTTPS://example.com` (or is normalized to
 `https://example.com`)

 Actual: URL becomes `http://HTTPS://example.com` — a completely broken
 double-protocol URL
