I'm not ready to do a thorough review, but I have two comments.

• r60934 added package.json and package-lock.json files to Twenty Twenty-Two and Twenty Twenty-Five, and those also need updates to the version number.
• Twenty Twenty-Three still has no code changes since 1.6. That theme might only have the "Tested up to" version bump, as in r60158, again without packaging a new theme.

All the mentioned feedback has been incorporated in the latest commit.

[t-hamano]

All theme versions appear to be updated correctly. We also confirmed that no differences occur after running the build script for all themes that have one.

I will also be correcting the date format across all themes (from December 02, 2025 to December 2, 2025).

This is the changeset in which this file was modified: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/61107

The date currently shows the date the changeset was committed, but should this be changed to the 6.9 release date?

[shail-mehta]

Here Last modified date will show.

Line 421 in a44019b

wp_enqueue_style( 'dark', get_template_directory_uri() . '/colors/dark.css', array(), '20240603' );

The dark.css file has been updated with the following changeset:

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/60960

If we respect the commit date of the changeset, the new string will be 20251017. If we respect the 6.9 release date, it will be 20251202.

[t-hamano]

As far as my research goes, that's all the feedback I have. I would appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable could add further reviews.

I agree this date should be last modified date. I will update this date.

@shail-mehta, The force push may have caused a regression 😅

Released: December 02, 2025 should be Released: December 2, 2025

[shail-mehta]

Yeah I adding it

[t-hamano]

From what I've seen, everything appears to be handled correctly. However, this is my first time being involved in updating a bundled theme, so I welcome additional feedback from other contributors.
