Error Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'name' in undefined when reordering blocks with nested tabs

[talkonimbo]

Describe the Bug

Summary: When using blocks that contain tabs, reordering blocks in a field can cause a runtime error if a non-default tab is active. Specifically, if a block with more tabs is first and a later block has fewer tabs, switching their positions while the first block’s non-first tab is active triggers: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'name' in undefined

Notes:

• This seems related to how tabHasName or tab state is handled during block reordering.
• Workaround: Only reorder blocks when the first tab of each block is active.

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a blocks field in a collection/page with at least two block types:

• Block A: 3 tabs
• Block B: 2 tabs

2. Add Block A first, then Block B.
3. Open Block A and select the 3rd tab (so it becomes active).
4. Reorder blocks by dragging Block B to be before Block A.
5. Observe the runtime error in the admin panel.

Expected behavior:

• Blocks should reorder correctly.
• Active tabs should either reset safely or persist without causing errors.

Actual behavior:

• The admin panel throws: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'name' in undefined
• The block may appear broken or disappear in the UI.
