• [nitpick] The link label still reads “Edit profile” for blog-only sites—consider updating the text to “Edit blog profile” to make the target more explicit for users.

<?php elseif ( ACTIVITYPUB_BLOG_MODE === \get_option( 'activitypub_actor_mode' ) ) : ?>

• It would be good to add or update tests covering the blog-profile tab visit so that this update_option path is verified in the test suite.

\update_option( 'activitypub_checklist_profile_setup_visited', '1' );

includes/wp-admin/class-blog-settings-fields.php:30

• To avoid accidentally marking the profile step complete on unrelated admin pages, consider also checking that the current page is the ActivityPub settings page (e.g., verifying $_GET['page'] === 'activitypub').

if ( isset( $_GET['tab'] ) && 'blog-profile' === \sanitize_key( $_GET['tab'] ) && ACTIVITYPUB_BLOG_MODE === \get_option( 'activitypub_actor_mode' ) ) { // phpcs:ignore WordPress.Security.NonceVerification.Recommended

that might be a rare case, because the actor mode is the default and you see the welcome screen normally only when installing the plugin.
