Theme Manifests Generated Block Schemas

Describing a theme's editing surface used to mean configuring each field by hand. Theme manifests can now generate block schemas for the CMS, so theme authors have a structured way to describe the fields a custom theme expects, and editors get a more reliable form for entering theme-owned content.

An early milestone for custom themes

This is an early milestone for Basker's custom-theme architecture. The product is moving away from one-off template fields and towards theme-described editing surfaces. That distinction matters as the team prepares to support multiple customer sites on Basker without bespoke CMS work each time.

Themes that describe themselves

When a theme can describe its own editing surface through a manifest, the CMS can generate the right admin form for any block. Theme authors write the schema once; editors always see the right fields. That removes a class of launch problems where the theme expected one field structure and the CMS presented another.
