For developers: what the fix changed

The fix introduces explicit entity create and update access checks inside the add and edit methods of the dialog controller. This ensures users cannot bypass entity level permissions when using the dialog widget.

Also in this release Bundle labels now have HTML tags stripped before output and a boolean cast was added to a widget setting to prevent type errors.
