Partially (expands on #29)and adds new blocks and rich text for seo and copy on pages

[zamartz]

Summary

• Add limitToCurrentResults attribute and a “Show Terms in Current Results” toggle so taxonomy filters can optionally list only terms attached to posts in the current Query Loop.
• Cache each Query Loop’s post IDs via the_posts (for both inherited and custom queries) and update the taxonomy block renderer to use those IDs when scoped filtering is enabled, falling back to the previous get_terms() behaviour when it’s off.
• Add a Sort Filter block that mirrors the core Query Loop “Order by” controls, exposes preset order options, writes a single readable query-post_orderby parameter, and wires its dropdown into the interactivity store.
• Standardize all filter/search/sort URLs around a single query-post_id + query-* parameter scheme (with legacy support) and keep the orderby:order string human‑readable instead of URL‑encoded.
• Introduce a shared taxonomy‑text helper and compiled block that outputs dynamic with prefix/suffix controls, plus a RichText format (toolbar button + modal) that injects the same dynamic text inline in Paragraph/Heading copy.
• Add “Page Number” and “Yoast Primary Category” filter sources, including “Only show after page 1” and “Link to term archive” toggles for page/Yoast modes.
• Reinforce taxonomy pagination by redirecting ?query-page= URLs to /page/n, keeping the inline renderer aware of both forms, and adding a client‑side fallback when @wordpress/interactivity-router is unavailable.
• Ship only compiled plugin assets by removing dev tooling (src/, npm manifests, node_modules) from the distributable package.

Notes

• Expands on the work introduced in Taxonomy filter to respect query loop settings #29 by adding scoped term filtering, taxonomy‑text helpers (block + inline format), sort presets, interactivity fallbacks, and documentation.

Testing

• npm run build (before removing tooling files from the distributable).
• Verify taxonomy filter dropdowns only list terms present in the current query results when “Show Terms in Current Results” is enabled, and list all terms when it’s off.
• Verify the Sort Filter block updates the query using a single readable query-post_orderby parameter and preserves it as additional filters/search are applied.
• Verify the taxonomy‑text block and inline format render the expected term title/description/page number or Yoast primary category, respect prefix/suffix, and honor the “Only show after page 1” and “Link to term archive” toggles.
• Verify taxonomy archives use /page/n URLs while preserving existing query-* parameters, and that client‑side navigation still updates results correctly even if the interactivity router is unavailable.

Triaging the open PRs. Thanks @zamartz — there's clearly a lot of useful work in here, but as it stands it's very hard to review or merge, and I'd like to suggest a way to get it landed.

It needs a rebase

The branch is ~66 commits behind main and conflicts in inc/namespace.php. Two structural changes have happened underneath it:

• build/ is no longer in the repository (removed in c1aabe0 — built files are generated at release time and gitignored). This PR changes 15 files under build/, and those should all be dropped.
• Term querying has moved out of src/taxonomy/render.php into \HM\Query_Loop_Filter\get_filter_terms() in inc/namespace.php, which now also owns includeTerms / excludeTerms, curated ordering, and URL-encoded slug handling.

Also please drop COMMIT_MESSAGE.txt and PR_UPDATE.txt — those look like working notes that got committed by accident.

Please split it up

The diff is +2039 across four largely independent features:

1. "Show Terms in Current Results" on the taxonomy filter (8b55339)
2. A sort filter block and unified query-param handling (dfdc7d5)
3. The taxonomy-text block + rich text format, with canonical pagination handling (ba32ac4, 70e4a1b, 0883e82)
4. Page number as a dynamic filter-text option (677c814)

Each of those is reviewable on its own; together they aren't, and one contentious piece blocks the other three. The +716 lines in inc/namespace.php in particular need to be read carefully — that file is where all the query-var transposition and its security guards live (is_taxonomy_viewable(), is_post_type_viewable(), sanitisation of $_GET values), and a change of that size there is not something we can take on trust.

Suggested order, smallest and least contentious first:

• Start with Images #1. It overlaps directly with Taxonomy filter dropdown ignores other active filters (shows terms with zero matching results) #52 (term lists that ignore other active filters) and with Taxonomy filter to respect query loop settings #29 (term lists that ignore the Query Loop's own taxonomy settings). Those three want a single implementation inside get_filter_terms(), and yours is the furthest along — so landing it first gives the other two something to build on. Worth reading my summary on #52 before you rebase it; the main open question is whether this is opt-in via an attribute (it should be, to avoid changing existing sites' behaviour).
• Then the sort block, then taxonomy-text, then the page-number option.

If you open the first of those as a fresh, rebased PR against current main I'll review it promptly. Happy to leave this PR open as the tracking umbrella in the meantime — just let me know if you'd rather close it once the pieces are split out.
