Turn Off the Visual Tab in the Classic Editor
Makes the classic editor open in Text (HTML) mode only, for sites where the visual editor keeps changing hand-written markup.

$screen = function_exists( 'get_current_screen' ) ? get_current_screen() : null;
if ( $screen && method_exists( $screen, 'is_block_editor' ) && $screen->is_block_editor() ) {
return $can; // Leave the block editor alone.
