As mentioned in #55026 (comment)
I think I used this so that choices of the user in the editor were reflected on the frontend, even if those changes overrode theme custom text.
Theme custom excerpt text would still display if displayPostContentRadio was not set to 'excerpt' in the Latest Posts block attributes. However, I believe we were missing the editor's "excerptLength attribute is less than the currently-set excerpt length" condition in index.php.
What should prevail here?

Great question. The way you're currently handling it in this PR feels natural to me in testing!

I haven't tested this PR yet, so this is just a drive-by comment! 😄
The condition above appears to already check for && 'excerpt' === $attributes['displayPostContentRadio'] ) so I don't think we need that condition in this if statement?

Did I leave that in there? 😅
Thanks for spotting 🙇🏻

One more comment here: I'm not 100% convinced of the robustness of this check. We're hard-coding what we expect the default value to be (from Core).
If a theme has added a hook that returns […], which we presume is what they want, then this condition will also overwrite.

This is testing nicely for me @ramonjd and feels like a natural way to handle it while preserving themes that intentionally override excerpt_more 👍
✅ Themes that override the excerpt now output correctly on the site frontend (tested 2019, and 2021)
✅ Themes that don't override the excerpt correctly output the Read more text along with the screen reader text containing the post title
❓ If there is no post title, then that's flagged in the screen reader text, too on the site frontend. E.g. the following:
However in the editor, it looks like the fallback (no title) isn't being output in the screen reader text. Just left a small comment there and one for the output of the PHP, but otherwise this is looking good to me!

What?
In the editor: adds a screen reader text span with the post title in the i18n interpolator
In the frontend: removes
excerpt_morefilter so we don't override themes and also replaces the default ellipsis with an accessible read more link. This is done only when the Latest Post attributedisplayPostContentRadiois explicitly set toexcerpt.Also I notices that the frontend didn't match the editor in one respect: the "Read more" default text should only appear when the attribute
excerptLengthis less than the currently-set excerpt length (from any filters etc)❗ It's important to note that themes, such as 2019, that specific a custom excerpt more text will not have that custom text and link reflected in the editor when the
displayPostContentRadiois set toexcerptand the attributeexcerptLengthis less than the currently-set excerpt length. The editor's preferences take precedence here. . "Read more" will always show in this case.Why?
Use of the
excerpt_morefilter was overriding theme defaults, e.g., 2021, 2019The repetition of "Read more" text in the frontend and editor did not provide any context to screen reader users. SeE: https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/accessibility/required/#repetitive-link-text
