Conversation
This sets up a root-level package.json that will manage all the plugins' internal dependencies via workspaces. It allows us to only have one package-lock.json file, rather than one per plugin, which makes keeping dependencies in sync across plugins easier to achieve. It also saves a bit of space in the respository, as these files can be tens of thousands of lines long and largely duplicative.
** Why are these changes being introduced: We already have a plugin that implements the hours ecosystem, so it makes sense to define the new hours block for the homepage within that plugin, rather than in a separate plugin. ** How does this address that need: This moves the content of the hours block into the existing hours plugin. As part of this move, a few things get adjusted: * Package.json at the repostitory root gets the new plugin path added to its list of workspaces * Because the hours plugin already uses the src/ folder to define PHP classes, it doesn't make sense to re-use that location for the block source files. We instead take a page from WordPress itself, and place those materials in the blocks/ folder. * Because the path to the block materials changes, we need to update the package.json file in the plugin to pass the --source-path argument to the build and start scripts. * The PHP script at the plugin root needs to merge with the existing plugin. The only unique part from the new plugin is the block block registration function (which is hooked to the init action) - so we use that and leave the rest of the boilerplate behind. * The readme.txt file from the old plugin is no longer needed, as this is a file we don't really use in this monorepo. * We also re-run the build command to make sure that everything is wired up correctly. This updates the hash and index.js file. * All of this means we bump the plugin version number. ** Document any side effects to this change: Hopefully none...
(Squashed to remove build artifacts for on block)

Moving to a single blocks plugin
This moves the source materials for the hours block into the new mitlib-blocks plugin - block.json - edit.js - editor.scss - index.js - save.js - style.scss It doesn't touch the built materials, that will happen in a future commit
Now that the hours block has been relocated into the new plugin, and the naming convention for folders in that plugin have been udpated, there are a few cleanup tasks that are necessary for everything to function: - package.json at the root level now only lists a single workspace, as the hours plugin no longer has one - package.json within mitlib-blocks needs to be told where to find the block materials - The hours plugin itself no longer needs a register_blocks function, nor does it need package.json or .gitignore - The text-domain value for the hours block needs to be updated to use its new home - The mitlib-blocks gitignore needs to ignore .map files There is an additional side effect in this commit, which is not strictly related but seems like a good idea at this point: - The PHPCS configuration now ignores materials in a build/ folder, as these are not meant to be run through any sort of static code analysis. Squash me
This also removes the deprecated build materials from the hours plugin

WCAG 4.1.2: Focusable element inside a "img" role whose children are presentational.
Elements with a role that makes children presentational must not contain focusable content.
Details
Roles like button, checkbox, img, tab, and others make their children presentational — hidden from assistive technologies. If those children are focusable, keyboard users can reach elements that screen reader users cannot perceive. Move focusable content outside the parent or remove the focusability.

This is the feature branch which introduces a set of blocks that allow us to more easily managed content on the new Libraries' homepage.
Current roadmap:
mainentry from mitlib-blockspackage.jsonpackage.json, rather than "latest"
