Do we explicitly provide "" as a settingsRootClientId in the post editor today or do we leave that to the block-editor's algorithm?

As @wordpress/editor provides the setting, today Site and Post Editors would use the algorithm that looks for main.

However, if the rendering mode is template-locked (like when you are editing a Page in the Site Editor) then the default would be '' (empty string).

I think the question is here

Main main question is about "performance". In other words, it seems unnecessary to run the fallback for post and page editors in "post-only" mode (not template-locked), for template-locked, I suspect that we already have something that sets the "post-content" block as section root.

I see what you mean. If we are in Post Editor (Posts or Pages or whatever) we are in post-only mode. Therefore we're going to be looking for a main tag which is very unlikely to exist.

Yes maybe I need to do some more digging to find where these editors end up with '' as the sectionRootClientId.
