Adds blueprints/visual-edit-lite/blueprint.json.

What it does

Installs Visual Edit Lite, a free GPL-2.0-or-later plugin, and lands in its editor. On a block theme the plugin works inside the native block editor: you click a text, an image or a section on the page and change it in place, with a floating inspector for the selected block, responsive controls and a save history for each page.

How it installs

git:directory from the plugin's main branch, so the Blueprint follows new releases without edits here. The plugin needs no build step. It is in the WordPress.org review queue; once it is listed I will switch the resource to wordpress.org/plugins.

Tested

Booted in Playground from this branch: the plugin activates, the landing page opens the editor on the blog home, no PHP notices.

Try it: https://playground.wordpress.net/?blueprint-url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOSDevSK/blueprints/add-visual-edit-lite/blueprints/visual-edit-lite/blueprint.json

No screenshot is included, so the CI job can generate one. I am the plugin's author.

Pin the plugin revision for the published Blueprint.

ref: "main" with refType: "branch" allows later launches to install different plugin code without a Blueprint change. Use a compatible release tag, or a full commit SHA with refType: "commit" when no compatible tag exists.
