Replace the phase-services dynamic block with per-phase patterns (LSA-132)

[krugazul]

Summary

This replaces the ls-theme/phase-services dynamic block (#72) with six static patterns, one for each lifecycle phase. The dynamic block chose its "Services in this phase" heading and cards from the current page. That needed a separate editor-side JS registration, a ServerSideRender preview and a PHP registration file. Each new pattern hardcodes its own phase's heading, intro, service tiles and accent colour. Content is fixed when the pattern is inserted, so it stays correct if the pattern is later flattened, and the theme no longer ships custom block code.

Added

• patterns/sections/phase-services-{discover,create,build,launch,grow,evolve}.php, shown in the inserter as "Section - Phase Services: Discover" … "Evolve". Each pattern holds its phase's service list (labels, descriptions, URLs and icons match services-service-tiles.php) and uses the plain phase.{slug} token for its accent. Markup and class names (ls-phase-services-in-phase, __icon-well) are unchanged from the block's output, so the existing phase-services-in-phase.css still applies. That stylesheet is loaded by phase page slug in inc/animations.php, not by block presence.

Removed

• blocks/phase-services/ (block.json, index.js, render.php).
• inc/blocks.php and its require in functions.php.
• patterns/sections/phase-services-in-phase.php, the wrapper pattern that only contained the block.

Changed

• phase-where-to-go-next.php: a docblock cross-reference now points at the new patterns.
• CHANGELOG.md: added an entry under [Unreleased].

Review notes

• I found and fixed one problem during review: the earlier commits removed block.json, index.js and the registration, but left blocks/phase-services/render.php behind. It could no longer be reached, and it still had a debug test class added to its wrapper. It's now deleted, so blocks/ is gone entirely.
• Stored page content: any phase page whose saved content still contains <!-- wp:ls-theme/phase-services /--> or <!-- wp:pattern {"slug":"ls-theme/phase-services-in-phase"} /--> will show an unsupported-block notice, or render nothing, until that section is replaced with the matching new pattern. Please check all six phase pages on staging after deploying.

Testing

• php -l passes for all six new patterns
• No references to ls-theme/phase-services, inc/blocks.php or blocks/phase-services remain outside the changelog and the new patterns' docblocks
• Insert each "Section - Phase Services: {Phase}" pattern in the editor and confirm the heading, tiles and accent colour for that phase
• Check each of the six phase pages on the front end, in light and dark styles
• Confirm no phase page still references the removed block or pattern

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds six static WordPress patterns for phase-specific service sections. It removes the dynamic phase-services block, its registration and loading code, and the wrapper pattern. The changelog and a related pattern description are updated.

Changes

Phase services

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Add phase-specific service patterns patterns/sections/phase-services-{discover,create,build,evolve,grow,launch}.php	Each pattern defines phase-specific service entries, a heading, an accent, and service tiles. The patterns render escaped text and links.
Remove the dynamic block and update its reference blocks/phase-services/*, inc/blocks.php, functions.php, patterns/sections/phase-services-in-phase.php, patterns/sections/phase-where-to-go-next.php, CHANGELOG.md	Removes the block metadata, editor registration, renderer, loading code, and wrapper pattern. Updates the related pattern description and adds an LS-4179 changelog entry.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Refactor

Suggested reviewers: zaredrogers

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to cdbc6

The new patterns preserve the previous phase content and styling, and the tracked tree has no page instances using the removed block. Existing WordPress database content was unavailable for review, so deployed page usage remains unverified; no repository-backed issue currently blocks merging.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in CHANGELOG.md: Added the LS-4179 changelog entry describing six static phase-services patterns that each provide their own heading, service tiles, and accent colour instead of selecting cards from the current page slug. It also lists the removed dynamic block directory and registration, its functions.php include, and the wrapper pattern that contained only the block.
• observed — Modified behavior in blocks/phase-services/block.json: The block metadata was removed, including the ls-theme/phase-services name, API version 3, title, category, description, postId context, and render.php renderer declaration.
• observed — Modified behavior in blocks/phase-services/index.js: The editor-side ls-theme/phase-services block registration was removed, including its postId context, server-rendered editor preview, and null save implementation.
• observed — Modified behavior in blocks/phase-services/render.php: The deleted blocks/phase-services/render.php callback selected phase-specific services and labels from the block’s postId context, falling back to the current post ID and then queried object ID; unknown or missing phase slugs used Discover. It generated escaped heading and service-card block markup with phase-specific accent styling, then rendered it through do_blocks(). The callback and its phase data were removed.
