I’m encountering a strange behavior in my new bbPress installation. Here’s what happens:

Setup:
• Forum: “General”
• Sticky post in this forum containing the rules (closed for replies)
• A test topic: “Now I’m drinking coffee”
• A reply added to the test topic

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create the topic “Now I’m drinking coffee” in the “General” forum.
2. Add a reply to this topic. Everything works as expected.
3. Go to wp-admin → Topics → All Topics.
4. Move the “coffee” topic to the trash.

Observed Behavior:
• The reply added to the trashed topic also goes to the replies trash.
• Its post_parent changes from the “coffee” topic to the sticky rules post (still published).
• If I restore the topic from the trash, the reply is no longer associated with the topic.

Expected Behavior:
• The reply’s post_parent should remain linked to the original topic.
• When emptying the topics trash, the reply should be deleted along with the topic, similar to how comments are handled with regular posts.

Environment:
• bbPress latest version
• WordPress latest version
• No child theme active
• Plugin: “Enable bbPress for Block Themes”

Has anyone else experienced this, or is there a fix/workaround?
