Omit the class description when the group block shows one class

The Group Classes block can be pinned to a single class via its Class
option so it can be embedded on a page dedicated to that class. On such a
page the surrounding copy already describes the class, so the card
repeated it. In single-class mode the description is now left out and the
card shows only the schedule, instructor, schedule note, price, enrolment
deadline and the enrol/withdraw controls.

The editor preview follows the same rule: BlockPreview::groupClasses()
takes the mode from the block's offeringId attribute, drops the sample
description when a class is pinned, and notes what the published page
shows. Its sample card also gained the .us-class-when and
.us-enrol-deadline elements the live markup has always rendered.

Closes #114

+## [1.2.2]
+
+### Added
+- The **Group Classes** block can now be pinned to a single class, under **Classes shown → Class** in the block sidebar (shortcode: `[us_group_classes offering="…"]`). Pick a class and the block shows only that one, so it can be embedded on a page that describes the class. In this mode the class's own description is left out to avoid repeating the page copy — the card shows the schedule, instructor, price, enrolment deadline and the enrol/withdraw controls. Leaving it on **All classes** keeps the full browsable catalog with descriptions.
+
+## [1.2.1]
+
+### Fixed
+- Registration questions, offering titles/notes, and policy names longer than their storage limit are no longer silently discarded. Previously typing a fixed-size field past its maximum length reported success but saved nothing — the database quietly rejected the over-long value. These fields now cap the input in the form, and the API rejects an over-long value with a clear error.
+- Students can no longer reach the WordPress dashboard. A student who navigates to `wp-admin` is redirected to the site front end and the admin toolbar is hidden for them, so they only ever see the studio's booking pages. Anyone who runs the studio — administrators, studio admins, and instructors — keeps full `wp-admin` access.
+- The instructor picker on the **Add/Edit Offering** form no longer comes up empty for a solo studio owner. When the person running the studio teaches from a WordPress administrator account (the default single-account setup), they now appear in the instructor dropdown and can be assigned to a class.
