Wolves still try to attack players even in Peaceful difficulty

While playing in Minecraft: Java Edition, I encountered an issue where a wolf continues to behave aggressively toward the player even after switching the game back to Peaceful mode. The problem appears when a wolf is provoked under one difficulty setting and then the difficulty is changed multiple times while the wolf is still hostile.

To reproduce the issue, I first started the world on Peaceful difficulty. While still in Peaceful, I hit a wolf, which caused it to enter its hostile state even though it could not deal damage. After provoking the wolf, I changed the difficulty to Easy, at which point the wolves correctly began attempting to attack me as normal. While they were still in this aggressive state, I switched the difficulty back to Peaceful. Most of the wolves immediately stopped attacking, as expected for Peaceful mode. However, one wolf continued to chase me and repeatedly tried to attack me, despite being unable to deal any damage.

The expected behavior is that all hostile wolves should instantly lose aggression and stop attacking the player as soon as the difficulty is set to Peaceful. Instead, the actual behavior is that one wolf remains stuck in an aggressive state, continuing to follow and attempt to attack the player indefinitely. The wolf does not inflict damage, but its behavior does not reset, and it continues acting as if the player is still a valid target. This persists until the wolf is killed or unloaded.

This issue seems specifically tied to switching between Peaceful → Easy → Peaceful while wolves are already aggroed. A video demonstrating the behavior is attached.
