/**
 * OpenStation: Media Library grid query cleanup.
 *
 * The Media Library grid stops live-updating after an upload when the
 * window's `openstation_chromeless=1` flag reaches its media query.
 *
 * `wp-admin/upload.php` seeds the grid from `$_GET`: it runs the whole
 * query string through `wp_edit_attachments_query_vars()`, drops a
 * hardcoded `mode` / `post_type` / `post_status` / `posts_per_page`
 * ignore list, and localizes whatever survives as
 * `_wpMediaGridSettings.queryVars`. Unknown keys pass straight
 * through, so our flag lands in the grid's `wp.media.model.Query`
 * args.
 *
 * That is enough to break uploads. `Query`'s constructor only calls
 * `this.observe( wp.Uploader.queue )` when EVERY arg is in a fixed
 * allowlist (`s`, `order`, `orderby`, `posts_per_page`,
 * `post_mime_type`, `post_parent`, `author`). Anything else means
 * the query has filters the client can't evaluate, so watching the
 * upload queue would show false positives. `openstation_chromeless`
 * is not in that list, the observer is never attached, and a finished
 * upload never enters the collection: the file lands on the server,
 * the grid shows nothing, and the new item only appears once the
 * window is reopened and the collection re-fetches.
 *
 * Core exposes no filter on that array, so the fix re-localizes
 * `_wpMediaGridSettings` after upload.php with our key removed. The
 * later assignment wins in JS, and reading back what core actually
 * produced (rather than recomputing it) keeps this from drifting if
 * core changes the shape.
 *
 * @package OpenStation

/**
 * Strips the chromeless flag from the Media Library grid's query vars.
 *
 * Runs late on `admin_enqueue_scripts` for two reasons: `upload.php`
 * localizes at file scope, before `admin-header.php` fires this hook,
 * and `wp_localize_script()` appends rather than replaces, so the last
 * writer is the one the grid sees.
 *
 * Bails silently whenever the data isn't in the shape we expect. A
 * grid that still doesn't refresh is a lesser failure than a grid that
 * doesn't render.
