Thank you so much for reviewing the PR. I have addressed all the shared feedbacks. Could you please take a look at it again?

Hi @JustinyAhin @hellofromtonya,
I hope you are doing well! Wanted to know if there is any update on this? Do I need to make the changes or can we proceed further?

Adds end-to-end coverage for classic menu management on nav-menus.php: creating a menu, adding a custom link, assigning a theme location, and deleting a menu.

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/54892 proposed exactly this coverage in 2022; its PR (#2338) predates the Playwright migration and has bit-rotted. This is a fresh implementation against the current utils and markup.

One deliberate choice: menu controls are activated via keyboard (focus + Enter) rather than pointer clicks. The sticky footer on nav-menus.php can shift on focus and silently swallow the first pointer click at certain window heights — reported separately as https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65684, with a community patch in progress for 7.2. Keyboard activation is immune, and the comments in the spec document the routing so the workaround can be dropped once #65684 lands.

A fresh implementation of this coverage is open as ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/12669 — the earlier ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/2338 predates the Playwright migration and has bit-rotted. 12669 covers creating a menu, adding a custom link, assigning a theme location, and deleting a menu. Menu controls are activated via keyboard rather than pointer clicks to stay clear of the sticky-footer click loss reported in #65684; the spec documents that routing so the workaround can be dropped once #65684 lands. Green across the full CI matrix.
