To improve stability, the remote, site-specific editor un-registers block types that are not on the allow list.
This is largely in place for development experience purposes, not user facing. It allows the editor WebView to reload and retains its current GBKit global.

What?
Filter the available block types via an allow list fetched from the API
endpoint.
Why?
Fix CMM-224. Used for selectively enabling stable block types and/or removing
unnecessary or problematic assets.
How?

unregister each block type not within the allow list.
