Review fix round 2: content-query no longer lets get_posts() fall back to 'publish' when every requested status is capability-gated out (now short-circuits to an empty page). Its field filter shares PostPresenter's hidden-field rule (Pods password type, protected meta) so a hidden key is rejected like an unknown one instead of reaching the query. Password fields are now type-checked as strings on write. A user without edit_private_posts can still query their own private posts when the query is already author-restricted, matching WordPress core.
