Comment:

 Hi, I’m Sana Yasir, and I’m new to WordPress Core contribution. Thank you
 to everyone for the helpful discussions and contributions on this ticket.

 **Test Report**

 I tested the latest patch on both WordPress Playground and a local
 WordPress setup.

 Environment:

 * WordPress trunk / latest nightly
 * Default theme
 * No active plugins

 Results:
 ✅ The “Download Theme” button appears correctly in the Theme File Editor
 screen.
 ✅ Clicking the button successfully downloads the selected theme as a ZIP
 file.
 ✅ The downloaded ZIP extracts properly and contains all expected theme
 files.
 ✅ I tested with both active and inactive themes, and the functionality
 worked as expected.
 ✅ I did not notice any PHP warnings, notices, or UI issues during
 testing.

 UX Feedback:
 The current placement of the Download Theme button in the Theme File
 Editor feels appropriate and user-friendly. It is easy to discover and
 works well alongside the existing editor actions.

 I also tested this feature in WordPress Playground, and the download
 functionality behaved correctly there as well.
