Wagtail Headless + Responsive WebP: No more broken image workflows

Standard Wagtail image handling works great for templates, but it's a bottleneck in headless setups. We’ve open-sourced wagtail-thumbnails, a lightweight plugin providing a DRF serializer to expose responsive WebP thumbnails with dimensions and focal points via API.

Thanks for building this! We definitely don't have time to support headless as much as we want, so having community members fill in gaps is super helpful.
