Commit work includes feat(dashboard): persist styles on save and load from file initially and e2e test coverage for persistence. Major bugs fixed - CI Pipeline Cleanup: Removed a duplicate pipeline step (build_devcontainer_image) and its dependency from integration.yaml to streamline the CI process, reducing potential flakiness in builds. - Prevent Unintended Dashboard File Writes on Initial Post Creation: Refined the wp_after_insert_post hook to only trigger dashboard file persistence when a post is updated, preventing unnecessary writes during initial post creation. Overall impact and accomplishments - Improved user experience and reliability: Styles persist across sessions for dashboard users; CI remains stable with a leaner pipeline; and data integrity of dashboard files is preserved during post creation. - Increased developer velocity: Reduced CI overhead and avoided unnecessary file I/O during startup, enabling faster iterations. Technologies/skills demonstrated - WordPress hooks and PHP-based persistence logic - JSON-based persistence and file I/O for configuration/state - CI/CD pipeline hygiene and automation - End-to-end testing for UI features
