Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the VideoPress block's Description field in the P2 editor, using the timestamp example, and compare it with the wp-admin block editor where chapters save correctly. Trace the VideoPress block and P2 editor handling until the description reaches chapter parsing; done means the same chapters are saved and displayed on P2.
