Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the Related Posts block and the default settings that appear at the bottom of posts, then inspect how existing display options reach the UI and rendered output. Done means a UI setting can enable a small post excerpt in both supported Related Posts contexts, with the existing display settings still working.
