Use get_parent_theme_file_uri() for theme stylesheets

[shail-mehta]

Description

This is a small parent-theme improvement: load Ipsum’s stylesheets with get_parent_theme_file_uri() so the parent CSS continues to load correctly when a child theme is active.

Ipsum already works well on its own. Relative stylesheet paths and get_stylesheet_directory_uri() resolve to the active theme, which is usually fine, but with a child theme they can point at the child instead of Ipsum. Using get_parent_theme_file_uri() keeps parent style.css and editor-style.css available in both cases, similar to Twenty Twenty-Five.

Changes

• functions.php
  • Front end: enqueue style.css with get_parent_theme_file_uri( 'style.css' ).
  • Editors: register style.css and assets/css/editor-style.css with get_parent_theme_file_uri().

No intentional visual change when Ipsum is used without a child theme.

Testing Instructions

1. Start the local environment.
2. With Ipsum active, check the front end and the Site Editor / page editor.
3. Confirm styles look the same as before.
4. Optional: try a minimal child theme and confirm Ipsum’s parent stylesheets still load.
5. Run npm run lint:php if PHPCS is set up locally.
