Pull request overview
This PR modernizes the starter template’s tooling and theme implementation by upgrading the PHP baseline, simplifying the front-end toolchain, and adding a reference block + theme options page aligned with modern WordPress block themes.
Changes:
- Upgraded baseline requirements to PHP 8.5 and aligned local Docker/composer tooling accordingly.
- Reworked theme asset pipeline: removed Tailwind/PostCSS + jQuery dependency, added WordPress dependency extraction, block build outputs, and BrowserSync dev proxy.
- Added a sample “Digital Clock” block (editor React + frontend Alpine) and a sample Settings API–based Theme Options page.
