Caveats

Is this a known limitation?
If so, provide documentation...
Albeit, editing images is pretty important!

That's a limitation of the lightweight PHP bundle, it works if I switch to the kitchen sink bundle. It's probably because it lacks the finfo extension and also has no access to the gd extensoin.

I infer that from this error – it says "unknown image file type".

{
    "code": "rest_unknown_image_file_type",
    "message": "Unable to edit this image.",
    "data": {
        "status": 500
    }
}

I'm starting to wonder, should the "kitchen sink" be the default bundle with "light" as an option 🤔
