Description
Using https://commercial.hmn.md/2026/07/29/ai-readiness-should-be-a-part-of-all-of-our-agency-pitches/ as an example
There's a video that has autoplay in the editor set is true.
Viewing the HTML on the block, autoplay attribute is there.
But on the actual front end, it gets stripped.
Can we fix this please?

Research direction
Use the linked article as the reproduction case. Compare the video block's HTML in the editor, where autoplay is present, with the rendered front end, where it is stripped; trace the content handling between those two outputs. Done means autoplay remains on the front end when enabled in the editor.
