 A pull request has been opened for review:

 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/11211

 This introduces the `wp_get_branch_version()` helper to extract the
 major.minor branch version safely and replaces existing fragile approaches
 (float cast, substr, etc.) across core.

 Feedback welcome.
