From a6467a1ad0840f18970fcd83a4b19e0e2d7308bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Calhoun Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 21:53:26 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] build: update GutenbergKit to v0.19.0 Bumps the gutenberg-kit version catalog entry from v0.17.2 to v0.19.0. No consumer API migration was required; the public Android surface used by GutenbergKitSettingsBuilder and GutenbergKitEditorFragment is unchanged across the two releases.
