Subject: [PATCH] fix(bricks): enable publicTemplates setting so /template/*
 URLs resolve
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Bricks's frontend.php template_redirect() permanently redirects any
/template/* URL to the homepage (site_url(), 301) when :
  - is_singular(bricks_template)
  - !current_user_can_use_builder()
  - !isset(bricks_global_settings.publicTemplates)
  - !maintenance mode

This kicks in BEFORE the Bricks builder check can run, so clicking
"Edit with Bricks" on a template ends up redirected to home → admin
URL → Bricks's own builder.php sees current_post_type as empty (because
the post wasn't actually queried before the redirect) → final redirect
to wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=&bricks_notice=error_post_type with the
"Invalid post type" notice.

Setting bricks_global_settings.publicTemplates = '1' disables this
preemptive redirect. Templates stay excluded from search but their
permalinks resolve normally → builder can attach.
