Interactivity API: populate router's state.url in the server

[luisherranz]

What

This PR populates state.url in the core/router Interactivity API namespace on the server, inside the data-wp-router-region directive processor.

Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64649

Why

After Gutenberg PR WordPress/gutenberg#70882, state.url in the interactivity router is no longer unconditionally set to window.location.href on the client. Instead, it falls back to window.location.href only if the server hasn't already provided a value:

state.url = state.url || window.location.href;

This PR provides that server-side value by calling wp_interactivity_state( 'core/router', ... ) during directive processing, following the same URL construction pattern used by redirect_canonical() and get_self_link().

How

• Adds a wp_interactivity_state( 'core/router', array( 'url' => ... ) ) call inside data_wp_router_region_processor() in WP_Interactivity_API.
• The URL is constructed using set_url_scheme(), $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], and $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].

Testing

1. Create a page with a Query Loop block using enhanced pagination (which uses data-wp-router-region).
2. View the page source and verify the interactivity script module data JSON includes "core/router" with the "url" property matching the current page URL.
3. Verify client-side navigation still works correctly.

Use of AI tools

Claude Code was used to research the best way to construct the URL and how other internal WordPress functions do it, and assist in creating the tests.

Test using WordPress Playground

The changes in this pull request can previewed and tested using a WordPress Playground instance.

WordPress Playground is an experimental project that creates a full WordPress instance entirely within the browser.

Some things to be aware of

• All changes will be lost when closing a tab with a Playground instance.
• All changes will be lost when refreshing the page.
• A fresh instance is created each time the link below is clicked.
• Every time this pull request is updated, a new ZIP file containing all changes is created. If changes are not reflected in the Playground instance,
  it's possible that the most recent build failed, or has not completed. Check the list of workflow runs to be sure.

Couldn't this just use get_self_link() directly?

Suggested change

	'url' => set_url_scheme( 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . wp_unslash( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) ),
	'url' => get_self_link(),

This will handle the case where the $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] is not set. Granted, core normally assumes it is set, but not always as in redirect_canonical():

wordpress-develop/src/wp-includes/canonical.php

Lines 68 to 73 in 5600a33

	if ( ! $requested_url && isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ) ) {
	// Build the URL in the address bar.
	$requested_url = is_ssl() ? 'https://' : 'http://';
	$requested_url .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
	$requested_url .= $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
	}

Using get_self_link() will also account for a port number other than the default.

According to the documentation, I thought that function was related to feeds.

Returns the link for the currently displayed feed.

But I'll gladly update the code to use it instead 🙂

Done in e2ab11e.

[westonruter]

True. Well, it's applicable to more than just feeds. We should probably update the description to indicate this at some point.
