When a query loop uses post__in (e.g., via Advanced Query Loop plugin), WordPress ignores post__not_in. This fix ensures exclusions work correctly by also filtering the post__in array to remove already displayed post IDs. - Add exclude_posts_from_query() helper that handles both post__not_in and post__in - Refactor modify_query_from_block_attrs() to use the new helper - Add Advanced Query Loop plugin to test environment - Add E2E test for post__in exclusion behavior Fixes #7 https://claude.ai/code/session_01GpFyKZGFSn2rTG4WmkumeU

Summary
This PR fixes a bug where the "Exclude Displayed Posts" feature didn't work correctly when a query loop used the
post__inparameter (commonly set by the Advanced Query Loop plugin). WordPress ignorespost__not_inwhenpost__inis present, so we now filter thepost__inarray directly to exclude already-displayed posts.Key Changes
New
exclude_posts_from_query()function: Handles exclusions intelligently by:post__inwhen it's set (since it takes precedence)post__not_infor queries withoutpost__inRefactored exclusion logic: Updated both

The fix addresses a WordPress core behavior where
post__intakes precedence overpost__not_in. When Advanced Query Loop sets specific post IDs viapost__in, our exclusion logic now:post__inarraypost__not_infor fallback behavior in other query scenarios
