Commit f56d172da4 for wordpress.org

commit f56d172da4f5a6defeadc48d96823087442f34ac
Author: Weston Ruter <weston@xwp.co>
Date:   Mon Feb 2 18:40:42 2026 +0000

    General: Preserve back-compat for `wp.sanitize.stripTags()` to return empty string when passed `null`/`undefined`.

    This also bumps the `esversion` to 11 in `tests/qunit/.jshintrc` to match the root `.jshintrc`, following [61544] for #64562.

    Follow-up to [61347], [60907].

    Props westonruter, jonsurrell, mukesh27, hugod.
    See #64274.
    Fixes #64574.
