Villagers only compost seeds but they don't compost bread, carrots, beetroots and potatoes.

Does not seem to be working as intended, I can confirm in 23w44a.
They are able to attempt to compost these items, but when they do it only shows the particles and does not actually remove the item from the villager or add to the composter's fill level.

The particles are displayed regardless of whether the villager is holding any bread, carrots or potatoes. It's just an indicator that the villager is working at their workstation.
Pretty sure this works as intended. The harvested crops are for sharing, you wouldn't waste them when you could feed people.
