## Description

Adds a Synced Patterns entry to the admin Posts menu (formerly called “Reusable 
Blocks” before WordPress 6.3), and shows a “Posts” column on the listing page counting
how many posts each pattern appears in. Click the count to jump straight to a filtered
posts list.

Only counts posts that _contain_ the pattern — not the number of times the pattern
appears within a single post.

**Note:** WordPress renamed “Reusable blocks” to “Synced patterns” in version 6.3.
This plugin adapts its menu label to match whatever your version of WordPress calls
them.

### Props

This plugin was loosely based on https://wordpress.org/plugins/fabrica-reusable-
block-instances/ — some code was simplified and optimized for performance.
