Changes proposed in this Pull Request:

Prevent corrections from being auto-published when the parent post is scheduled due to this core logic:
https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/6.8.1/src/wp-includes/post.php#L4638-L4642

The code will now attempt to set the correction status to private instead of future if the parent post is being scheduled to avoid WordPress immediately publishing the correction if its date is in the past.

The other possible approach could be updating the post date of the correction to match its parent future date, but the current approach helps preserve the original correction date across status updates.

How to test the changes in this Pull Request:

  1. Create a post and add one or more corrections with current or past dates.
  2. Schedule the post for a future date.
  3. Verify that the correction post(s) are updated with a private status, not future.
  4. Optionally, run the test suite and confirm the new unit test test_corrections_set_to_private_when_post_scheduled passes.
