Visible `<label>` elements benefit all users. The `placeholder` attribute should not be used as a replacement for visible labels.
Instead, it's supposed to be used only for a short hint to aid users with data entry e.g. a sample value or a brief description of the expected format.
Screen readers may not announce a `placeholder` attribute at all. Other users may suffer from the lack of a visible label and a placeholder used as replacement, for example:
- users with cognitive disabilities may have trouble remembering what the filled field does
- speech recognition users cannot see the name they can speak to set focus on the field
- low-vision users with high text-size may not be able to see the whole placeholder even when it's visible, if its value is clipped by the edge of the input

For a number of years, the Media modal missed an explicit ARIA role and the required attributes for modal dialogs.
This was confusing for assistive technology users, since they may not realize they're inside a dialog, and that consequently the keyboard interactions may be different from the rest of the page. Lack of an explicit label for the dialog was confusing as well, since assistive technology users didn't have an immediate sense of what the dialog is for.
This change makes the Media modal meet the ARIA Authoring Practices recommendations, helping users better understand the purpose and interactions with the modal. Also, it makes sure to hide the rest of the page content from assistive technologies, until support for `aria-modal="true"` improves.
Additionally:
- moves the modal H1 heading to the beginning of the modal content
- changes the modal left menu position to make visual and DOM order match
- improves the `wp.media.view.FocusManager` documentation

In [44940], the Dashicon files in core were updated to contain the latest version of the font from the GitHub repo. This change follows that up by fixing several backwards compatibility issues caused by the new build process used to generate the font files and fixes the missing menu icon when viewing the admin on small screens.
- `buddicons-bbpress-logo (f12b)` was moved back to the correct location of `f477`.
- `editor-ltr (f129)` was moved back to the correct location of `f10c`.
- `email-alt2 (f10a)` was moved to the correct location of `f467`.
The following icons were restored to their previous locations:
- `camera-alt (f129)`
- `edit-large (f327)`
- `editor-distractionfree (f211)`
- `update-alt (f113)`
- `twitter-alt (f302)`
- `text-page (f121)`
- `plugins-checked (f485)`
- `menu-alt3 (f349)`
- `menu-alt2 (f329)`
- `menu-alt (f228)`
- Duplicate lock icon at location `f315`
- Duplicate `editor-code` icon at location `f494`
- `arrow-up` at `f143`.
The `editor-ltr` and `editor-rtl` icons had also been switched. The arrows now point in the correct directions at the correct Unicode locations (`f10c` and `f320` respectively).
And, lastly, this change also introduces the `code-standards (f13a)` icon that was not included in the previous build.

- `.dashicons-rest-api (f124)`

These icons were added to the `.ttf, ` and `.eot` font files, as well as the SVG sprite. However, they were not added to the `.woff` font file. The new `dashicons.woff2` file should be utilized instead.
For instances where IE<11 needs to be supported, the `.woff` file will remain for backwards compatibility. However, if the new icons are needed in those scenarios, the WOFF format is now included as embedded within the `dashicons.css`.

After the JavaScript reorganization in [43309], it was no longer possible to test WordPress from the `src` folder. That meant a build step was required to test PHP modifications. That is suboptimal as even a simple copy is slower than a web server just serving the new file.
We achieve building to `src` by setting a `WORKING_DIR` constant in the Gruntfile that is `build` by default, but changes to `src` when the `--dev` flag is present on any Grunt command. We provide sensible defaults so some commands, such as copying `version.php`, always build to `build`.
Because testing from `build` is no longer required, we change the messages present in `index.php` and `wp-admin/index.php` to be more broadly about building WordPress.
We also change the webpack config to have more straightforward behavior based on the `buildTarget` argument. It only determines the build target now and has no implicit behavior anymore. `grunt build` still works as it worked before, to make sure that the build server produces the same `wordpress.zip` we are used to.
We do all this instead of a symlink setup because symlinks don't work on every platform.

- The `do_block` filter has been removed from `do_blocks()`, in favor of a `render_block` filter in `render_block()`.

In many a strange and curious file of forgotten lore—
While I pondered, blaming Nacin, my notifications suddenly awakened,
As of someone quietly DMing;—DMing me, I can’t ignore.
“’Tis some contributor,” I muttered, “DMing me an idea or four—
Only this and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly I remember, at WordCamp US, last December;
A mad proposal nearly laid me—down out cold—upon the floor.
Curious, I listened closely;—to a plan I agreed with, mostly—
A way to make our JavaScript—JavaScript which was a chore—
Maintainable, extendable, for the future, is what I saw.
Guten-ready for evermore.
Open here I switch to Slack, when, with many a patch and hack,
In there stepped Omar, a JavaScript developer hardcore;
Pronouncing all the changes fit; ready now to be commit;
“There’s nothing else for us to do,” DMing me, “It’s done!” he swore—
“No longer random guessing at which file need next be explored—
Let’s move on, we’re all aboard.”
Moved all together, grouped and managed, in folders all is packaged,
The code had all been cleaned and tidied, important parts moved to the fore,
“Though this change be useful here,” I said, “it is too large, I fear,
We couldn’t manage such a patch, we’ve done nothing like this before—
Tell me where doth go this change, change to make our codebase soar!”
Quoth Omar, “In WordPress Core.”

r43158 introduced a new admin pointer for the privacy tools added in 4.9.6. With the previous positioning, though, sometimes the `Dismiss` link would be fixed off screen, making it impossible for the user to dismiss the pointer. This happened when there were enough extra menu items, or when the viewport height was short enough.
This commit repositions the pointer to work around that problem. One down side of this workaround is that the arrow will not always be positioned next to the `Tools` menu, where it should be. That's an acceptable compromise given the current time constraints, though. A long term solution would be to make `WP_Pointer` robust enough to handle this use case.

Previously the pointer overlapped the menu in order to draw attention to the fact that it applies to both the `Tools` and `Settings` menus. That caused a conflict if the menu was collapsed, though, because the icons were covered by the pointer and therefore inaccessible.
Additionally, minor tweaks were made to the text order and formatting. The order of the two sections was swapped in the title and paragraph, in order to match the order of the corresponding menu items. The spacing around headings and paragraphs was tweaked to remove extraneous whitespace.

class used in the admin can be updated to use modern CSS and correct syntax. See
https://github.com/wpaccessibility/a11ythemepatterns/blob/master/read-more-links/style.css
Worth noting the `clip` property is deprecated and kept for IE11 and Edge.

- keeps `clip` for old browsers and update its value to a correct syntax
- resets `clip-path` to `none` where the class is used to dynamically reveal elements

Links used as UI controls that behave like buttons, should be buttons.
- changes the widgets "toggle", "Delete", and "Close" links to buttons
- uses `aria-expanded` to announce the state of the toggle buttons
- increases a bit the clickable area of the toggle
- ensures the "circular focus" doesn't get cut-off in some browsers by centering the toggle arrows
- uses a `<span>` element with an `aria-hidden` attribute to hide CSS generated font icons from assistive technologies
- standardizes on `.toggle-indicator:before` rather than `:after`
- changes two `#f00` reds in `#dc3232`, see #35622Fixes#31476.
