You should avoid map/filter operations for returned values from mapSelect. They will always return new reference and force component to re-render even if derived value is the same.
P.S. You should see warning in console for similar cases in dev mode. See #53666.

Thanks for the info! I wasn't aware of that 🙂 I have just changed it in this commit.
Not related to this pull request, but do you think it could be an issue also here? I'm happy to create another PR to change that.

Thank you, @SantosGuillamot!

That one is okay. It will pass a shallow equality check since the filteredPostTypes values will have the same reference. It's somewhat undocumented and a last-resort hack.
It usually depends on the case; check for a warning in the DevTools if you're unsure.
// ❌ will fail shallow equality since the `postType` property has a new reference on each call.
return {
postTypes: types.filter( () => /*--/* );
}
// ✅ will pass shallow equality since returned object properties have the same object reference
return types.filter( () => /*--/* );

I tested this using the single template and the post type is being successfully added to the context 👍 I think we could merge this separately or revise #64072 with this approach.

This is the only concern I may have. Sites with tons of postTypes could make the site editor slower.

This needs to be further investigated. We should see the results soon at https://codehealth.vercel.app/project/gutenberg.
In this PR on CI, I see the following metrics:
firstBlock is substantially slower for both editors and needs to be double checked on trunk.

I'm wondering if we have the following abstracted:
const postTypes = await apiFetch( {
path: '/wp/v2/types?context=view',
} );It's preloaded on the server, and it's enough to collect all post types and their slugs. Maybe it's exactly what getPostTypes does.

What?
Try to populate the block context in those use cases where we can inherit it from the template slug following the template hierarchy.
Why?
In some use cases, where the template is linked to a specific post type, I believe we can be sure the post type it relates to. If that's the case, it could make sense to populate the block context with that information.
How?
In the
BlockContextProvider, I'm checking if it iswp_templateand consider these scenarios:page, we can assume it is a page.slug-{postType}, we check if the{postType}exists in the registered post types and, if it does, we can assume that template is specific to that post type.Testing Instructions
