/**
 * Core class used to access templates via the REST API before WordPress 7.2.
 *
 * This class extension exists to prevent a fatal error when a `null` template
 * reaches `prepare_item_for_response`, which reads and assigns properties on
 * it. Core's `update_item` can pass `null` there from either of its two
 * unchecked `get_block_template()` refetches: after writing an update, and on
 * its "revert to theme" path, which force-deletes the template's post before
 * checking that a theme or plugin version of the template exists.
 *
