### Added

 * It is possible to use `vip config envvar set` to configure AI Connectors in WordPress

### Changed

 * Real-Time Collaboration: Rendered empty editors and containers with their actual
   default block so its client ID, DOM element, and caret persisted when editing
   began, without saving the placeholder before entry.
