Add per-post toggle for co-author edit access after publish#19
Merged
Conversation
Co-authors lose edit access on publish by default. Editors and admins can opt in per-post via a new sidebar toggle, persisted as post meta and enforced in the capability filter. The REST settings endpoint gates updates on edit_others_posts so co-authors and lone post authors without that cap cannot toggle it.
The post factory defaults to status=publish, which collides with the new co-author edit-on-publish gate. Tests that exercise pre-publish co-author behavior now create draft fixtures explicitly; the publish-gate tests still transition to publish themselves.
