The default WordPress REST response for a post is huge. Your front end probably needs three fields.
• register_rest_route runs inside the rest_api_init hook.
• Always set a permission_callback; __return_true makes a public, read-only route.
• The route lives at /wp-json/studio/v1/projects.
• Return only the fields you use, wrapped in rest_ensure_response.
Do you use the default WordPress REST routes or custom ones?
