Research direction

Start in packages/editor-ui/src/pages/Settings.jsx around lines 107–111 and compare the page editor's pageEditor.mediaUsage.missing message. Read the corresponding entries in packages/core/src/locales/en.json and add a test for this failure. Done means Site settings explains that the selected image was deleted and tells the user what to do.

Description

bug

A theme save with a deleted image just says "Please try again".


Choosing a library image in a theme setting and saving after that image was deleted is refused with MEDIA_REFERENCE_MISSING, but Site settings shows the generic "Failed to save theme settings. Please try again." (Settings.jsx ~107-111), which retrying cannot fix. The page editor has a specific message (pageEditor.mediaUsage.missing).

Done when: Site settings says the chosen image is no longer in the media library and what to do, with a test.

Start: Settings.jsx, en.json. Source: 2026-10-07 browser regression pass on theme-save-concurrency.
