/**
 * Server-side half of `src/blocks/atomic-shared/flex-item-filter.js`.
 *
 * That filter registers one extra attribute — `ablocksFlexItem` — on every
 * non-atomic block, so anything dropped into an atomic Flex or Grid container
 * gets a "Flex item" panel. Registered in JS alone it leaves the two block
 * registries disagreeing about what a block's attributes are, and the editor
 * asks the server to render with the JS set: WP_REST_Block_Renderer_Controller
 * validates `attributes` against the PHP-registered schema with
 * `additionalProperties => false`, so one attribute the server has never heard
 * of fails validation and the render returns 400 `rest_invalid_param`. That
 * takes down every block rendered through ServerSideRender — aBlocks' own
 * dynamic blocks and third-party ones alike.
 *
 * Declaring it here rather than in BlockGlobal is deliberate: BlockGlobal feeds
 * the attributes of aBlocks' own blocks (through each block's attributes.php and
 * the block.json built from it), while the editor-side filter reaches every
 * block on the site. `register_block_type_args` is the one seam with the same
 * reach, and it needs no rebuild to take effect on blocks aBlocks does not own.
