Install

No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:

wp plugin install https://github.com/westonruter/featured-image-block-with-lightbox/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

Declares an update source (https://github.com/westonruter/featured-image-block-with-lightbox), so updates arrive through the plugin's own updater.
