+ * Packages the SLASHED for Bricks WordPress plugin into a distributable zip.
+ *
+ * Output: dist/slashed-bricks.zip
+ *
+ * The zip contains a single top-level directory `slashed-bricks/` (matching
+ * WordPress plugin slug conventions) with:
+ *   - slashed-bricks.php (main bootstrap)
+ *   - includes/           (PHP classes)
+ *   - assets/             (pre-built admin/editor JS+CSS)
+ *   - data/               (fallback inventory.json)
+ *   - README.md
+ *
+ * Source directories (admin-app/, editor-app/) are excluded — they are dev
+ * sources whose built output already lives in assets/.
