Research direction

Reproduce the error by inserting the Waves block in the site editor, then start with waves.js at init (line 176) and run (line 368), followed by edit.js at line 189. Compare this path with the working frontend and post editor cases; done means the block inserts in the site editor without the unknown attachment type error.

Description

Bug

I'm getting this error when inserting the waves block in the site editor. It seems to work fine in the frontend and post editor.
