Fixes #

Brings the modernized Jetpack Social wp-admin dashboard to 100% on the Jetpack side, mirroring the Newsletter rollout (#50091).

Do not merge until the Simple-site cohort reaches 100% on the WordPress.com backend. Like Newsletter, the Simple rollout is staged from a wpcom server-side flag; this PR flips the Jetpack-side default, which takes effect on Atomic (WoA) and self-hosted Jetpack sites immediately on merge. Holding it open until Simple is at 100% keeps the two paths consistent.

Proposed changes

  • Flip the rsm_jetpack_ui_modernization_social gate (Social_Admin_Page::is_modernized()) default from false to true, so the wp-build Social dashboard (Overview + Settings tabs) loads by default instead of the legacy single-page React app.
  • The function_exists( 'jetpack_social_..._render_page' ) guard in is_wp_build_dashboard_active() is unchanged, so a site still falls back to the legacy bundle if the wp-build chassis isn't available.
  • Opt-out is unchanged: hosts (and a11ns who want the legacy view back) can still force the legacy experience with add_filter( 'rsm_jetpack_ui_modernization_social', '__return_false' ) — exercised by the existing kill-switch test.
  • Unlike Newsletter, the Social gate had no Jetpack-side cohort scaffolding to remove (no rollout-percentage constant, a12s carve-out, or blog-ID bucket — its staged rollout lives entirely wpcom-side), so this is a single default flip plus the matching test.

No.

Testing instructions

  • On a connected Atomic (WoA) or self-hosted Jetpack site, go to Jetpack → Social (admin.php?page=jetpack-social) and confirm the modernized wp-build dashboard (Overview + Settings tabs) loads by default, instead of the legacy single-page screen.
  • Confirm the host opt-out still wins: add_filter( 'rsm_jetpack_ui_modernization_social', '__return_false' ); restores the legacy Social admin screen.
  • PHP unit tests: composer phpunit in projects/packages/publicize (113 tests pass; --filter Social_Admin_Page_Test covers the new default-on behavior, the explicit-on case, and the kill switch).

Social: roll out the modernized dashboard to 100%
004abf2 
Flip the `rsm_jetpack_ui_modernization_social` gate default from false to
true so the modernized wp-build Social dashboard loads by default on
Atomic and self-hosted Jetpack sites. Simple is driven separately from
the WordPress.com backend, so this PR stays open until that cohort
reaches 100%. Hosts (and a11ns who want the legacy view back) can still
opt out with add_filter( 'rsm_jetpack_ui_modernization_social', '__return_false' ).

Unlike Newsletter, the Social gate carried no Jetpack-side cohort
scaffolding to remove — its staged rollout lives entirely on the wpcom
side — so this is a single default flip plus the matching test.
