Unable to access block context for conditional rendering at pre_render_block filter

[helgatheviking]

What problem does this address?

pre_render_block happens before you have access to render_block_context context or any modifications to the block via render_block_data. This makes it really difficult to conditionally modify the pre_render_block... for example if a certain context exists, return a pre_render_block and if not, allow for default rendering.

As far as I can tell, pre_render_block output also does not go through the render_block_${blockname} filter either... which maybe is off-track here.

Is there no way to conditioning alter the pre render based on context without waiting until after it's been entirely rendered (ie: render_block_${blockname} filter)?

What is your proposed solution?

I think there's benefit in re-ordering these hooks so that pre_render_block comes after render_block_context and render_block_data... perhaps even as late as the beginning of WP_Blocks render() method itself.

Sorry to turn this support-ish, but if there's no path forward for the above what would be the recommendation to conditionally alter the pre_render_block return value?
