There was a problem hiding this comment.
This was removed in a separate commit as its usage was removed entirely in an earlier commit.
The usage was removed in earlier commits.
We now utilize the `loadEditorAssets` utility twice--once to load i18n modules, again to load the remaining `@wordpress` modules. The second invocation occurs immediately after the first, and there is no benefit from making another network request.

What?
Rely upon a cache to avoid unnecessary network requests during editor initialization.
Why?
We invoke
loadEditorAssetstwice—once for i18n modules, and then again for all other@wordpressmodules. The second invocation is performed immediately after the first, and there is no benefit for requesting a new response.How?
Cache the API endpoint response in memory. Long-term, we plan to cache the response and the assets themselves, which is explored in #107.
