 Following along with [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/51886
 GB 51886]

 There is a problem in the API that hinders the possibility of a more
 precise permission selection for Templates in the Editor:

 The template endpoint does not provide the PUT method. The PUT is paired
 with the `update` method, which happens to be what `canUser` needs to
 enable this allowance for Template editing via Editor.

 As explained in the
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/51886#issuecomment-3124828349
 Gutenberg answer] without a single Method for `EDITABLE` this doesn't seem
 to be doable.

 The only solution I can see here is adding an attribute to the
 `WP_REST_Server` class, that laser targets exclusively the `PUT`. Maybe
 something like `PUT_EDITABLE`.

 I think that for completeness purposes, all methods should have had an
 attribute (yes, we can add the methods manually without using the
 attributes, but it looks more elegant with them).

 Maybe someone can throw a second opinion on this.
