As a designer, I have struggled a little bit with Gutenberg since its release, but
this is finally the missing link that lets me work within the UI instead of needing
to write code to create reusable patterns. Love it 🫶

## Changelog

#### 2.0.0

 * Complete architectural overhaul: theme pattern files are now the single source
   of truth — no more database mirror posts, no more custom post type rows, and 
   no more interception of the /wp/v2/blocks REST API
 * New pattern browser under Appearance  Pattern Builder; every pattern opens in
   the WordPress editor itself — user patterns in the Site Editor, theme patterns
   in the core editor bound straight to the pattern file
 * Theme patterns are now real REST entities (string IDs, like core templates) at/
   pattern-builder/v1/patterns, editable in the post editor in place
 * Synced theme patterns now work through the core/pattern block’s content attribute(
   the same mechanism as the Synced Patterns for Themes plugin 2.0) — inserted copies
   stay linked to the pattern file with per-instance overrides, and no post ID is
   involved anywhere
 * Full pattern metadata management: title, description, categories, keywords, block
   types, post types, template types, viewport width, inserter visibility, and synced
   status all round-trip through the pattern file header
 * Viewport Width is now preserved when editing patterns (previously lost on save)
 * Parent theme patterns are now included (previously only the child theme was scanned)
 * The block inserter now respects each theme pattern’s own Inserter header (previously
   all theme patterns were hidden)
 * Pattern Bindings panel for naming override slots directly in the editor
 * Works alongside Synced Patterns for Themes 2.0: when both are active the companion
   provides the pattern runtime and Pattern Builder adds the editing tools
 * Automatic one-time migration: wp:block references to the old mirror posts are
   rewritten to wp:pattern references, mirror posts are removed, and the old capabilities
   are cleaned up
 * Fixed unauthenticated pattern deletion and unauthenticated edit-context reads(
   the old REST interception layer is gone entirely)
 * Performance: no database writes on page load (the old per-request pattern mirroring
   is gone)
 * Requires WordPress 6.8 and PHP 7.4
