Pin test environments to WordPress 7.1 .wp-env.json, .wp-env.test.json	Both configurations now set core to WordPress/WordPress#7.1-branch.
Simplify PHP test workflow .github/workflows/unit-test.yml	The workflow removes previous-version computation, the WordPress matrix dimension, related exclusions, and WP_ENV_CORE. The test-php job now depends only on build-assets.
