File	Description
projects/plugins/jetpack/json-endpoints/class.wpcom-json-api-get-site-endpoint.php	Expands the unauthenticated response field allowlist to include is_garden.
projects/plugins/jetpack/changelog/feat-site-add-is-garden-to-default-fields	Documents the change in the Jetpack changelog system.

[Copilot]

Adding is_garden to no_member_fields changes the unauthenticated/public /sites/%s response surface. Since this endpoint has unit tests, please add/update a test to cover that the field is included (and populated) when the request has no user/blog auth, to prevent regressions.
