      Warden AI breaks (becomes passive, starts spamming random animations) if you repeatedly update its CustomName

      Steps to Reproduce:

        [Step 1] Summon a warden (use spawn eggs or /summon)
        [Step 2] Place a repeating command block 

      /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:repeating_command_block

        [Step 3] Enter this command in the repeating command block: 

      /execute as @e[type=minecraft:warden] run data modify entity @s CustomName set value "hello world" 

        and set it to always active
       
        [Step 4] Switch to survival mode and interact with the warden

      Observed Results:

      Warden becomes passive and may start spamming the sniff/dig animation.

      Expected Results:

      Warden's behavior should be unaffected by the custom name change and it should attack all mobs around it.

      Notes:

      This affects map/data pack makers, preventing them from updating the warden's custom name too often because its AI might break.
