What?

🚧 🚧 🚧 Just an experiment for now 🚧 🚧 🚧

For the experimental Media Editor Modal, try out a Photoshop-style navigator that's separate from zooming the crop area. It should also allow folks to pan the viewport separately from moving the crop area.

Why?

To allow more freedom around the cropping area. It's a balancing act as it also might make things feel more complex or hard to use! For now this is just something I'm playing around with, and thought I'd save my progress.

How?

This was a fun exploration into the idea of a navigator control and component. I'm taking some of the ideas from this PR and trying out a simpler one that just looks at the UX of expanding the crop area:

I'll close this out now, but might revisit the idea again in follow-ups.
