Description
It would be nice if we could conditionally allow the custom post type and custom taxonomy to be visible in the admin for debugging needs. It could be hidden under a custom capability (something like cap_can_debug?). This could make it a lot easier to sort out issues whenever there's incorrect or missing author data.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating where the custom post type and custom taxonomy are registered and where their admin visibility is controlled. Done means the two content types can be conditionally visible to users with the chosen debugging capability, while normal users retain the current behavior.
