🐞 Bug Report: Beta Testing tab not working

[swissspidy]

Detailed Description

wp-admin/plugin-install.php?tab=beta lists current/upcoming WordPress feature projects such as the new AI Experiments plugin.

With the FAIR plugin active, this tab simply shows the popular plugins.

Expected Behavior

The beta testing tab should show a curated list of beta testing plugins.

Current Behavior

The tab simply shows the popular plugins.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Visit wp-admin/plugin-install.php?tab=beta

This likely requires support on the AspireCloud side for "channels", which is something that's currently not supported. AC can differentiate it with a different origin, but we would need AspireSync to scrape the beta channel, and I'm not super sure how to make that happen (most likely via the REST API I imagine).

To clarify, the Beta Testing tab doesn't show beta versions of plugins, just a curated list of plugins related to testing new WordPress functionality. So a beta channel is not appropriate.
