## DEPRECATION FLAGS
```
NONE DETECTED — output follows current API.
Confirmed clean on all Phase 6 checks:
✓ No wp.element.createElement usage
✓ register_block_type() points to block.json (WP 6.0+ pattern)
✓ save() returns null — correct for Dynamic render type
✓ useBlockProps present in edit component
✓ get_block_wrapper_attributes() used in PHP render callback
✓ apiVersion 3 throughout
```
---
## INTEGRATION NOTES
This scaffold assumes `@wordpress/scripts` (`wp-scripts`) as the build pipeline — your `package.json` entry point for this block should point to `src/blocks/author-bio-profile/index.js`, which should import and register the block via `registerBlockType` using the `block.json` metadata import pattern (`import metadata from './block.json'`). The `editorScript`, `style`, and `editorStyle` paths in `block.json` resolve relative to the compiled `build/` output directory, so confirm your `wp-scripts` output target matches that structure.
The avatar display in the editor is a styled placeholder; the PHP callback resolves the actual avatar via `get_avatar()` at render time. If your use case requires a **user-selectable image** rather than the post author's Gravatar, add an `avatarId` attribute of type `number` and implement a `MediaUpload` control — this is flagged as a potential **`{CUSTOM_CONTROL_REQUIRED}`** item if that requirement surfaces. The `showAvatar` toggle will continue to gate visibility correctly regardless of which avatar source is used.
---
```
VERDICT: SCAFFOLD COMPLETE
All phases passed. No deprecation flags. No ambiguous inputs.
Output is production-ready pending your enqueue configuration
and wp-scripts build setup.

CLAUDE-4-6-SONNET
Building a custom Gutenberg block means juggling five separate files, three APIs, and a register_block_type call that breaks silently when attributes don't match. Most developers waste 45–90 minutes per block on boilerplate that should take 10. This prompt generates the complete block scaffold from a single structured description — including ACF field integration when needed — with built-in checks that catch the attribute mismatches and missing supports flags before you hit the editor.
