Research direction

Start with the Blaze promotion flow described in the reproduction steps and reproduce the rotated-image case on Android 13. Compare the published image orientation with the 180-degree rotation from the block editor. Done means the image appears in its rotated orientation in Posts → Published → Promote with Blaze.
