In some cases like this, it's correct to keep using the canMoveBlock selector. Now I use that selector directly instead of via the hook.

Bug is fixed. Smoke tested locking/unlocking on trunk and on this branch.
I couldn't spot any regressions.
LGTM

Nicely done, this is testing great for me, too, and it makes a lot of sense having separate selectors for this 👍. The desired behaviour on trunk including locking all blocks inside, and unlocking some blocks within a parent locked block, is all still testing well for me, with the bug with spotlighted section blocks resolved.
One tiny question (not a blocker), in terms of naming, I was wondering if putting the word block earlier in the selector name would make it more consistent with some of the other isBlock selectors (like isBlockSelected)? So, isBlockEditLocked, rather than isEditLockedBlock. No strong opinions for me, so just a question 🙂
LGTM!

What?
Fixes #72159 - the block locking UI being displayed in cases where it shouldn't.
Why?
The bug happens because the block locking feature uses selectors like
canMoveBlockandcanRemoveBlock. These selectors are low level, and what the block editor uses as the source of truth for whether a block can be moved or removed. They reason about a wider range of systems that might prevent moving or removal, like block editing modes.A user can't change block editing modes from the block locking UI, so this shouldn't be something the block locking features incorporates into its locking logic.
How?
Introduces some new selectors that specifically reason about the types of locking the user can modify via the UI. Removes usage of selectors like
canMoveBlock,canRemoveBlockandcanEditBlockfor the locking feature.Testing Instructions
Do a general smoke test of block locking. Some gotchas about how the feature works in trunk (and maintained in this PR):
templateLock: 'insert'. It will also prevent block insertion, though it's not clear from the UI.Also test that the bug is fixed:
