Comment:

 Hi @lamarajan, `theme.json` is not mandatory for block themes.

 Per
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_theme/is_block_theme/#source
 WP_Theme::is_block_theme()], the only requirements for a block theme are
 the existence of a `templates/index.html`, or for backward compatibility,
 `block-templates/index.html`. To clarify, `templates/index.html` is the
 recommended one.

 This is a regression introduced in 6.1.1.

 -----

 See [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/46073 GB 46073], which
 has a patch.

 As this has been reported and will be patched upstream in the Gutenberg
 repository, I'll close this ticket as `reported-upstream`.

 @mamaduka I can't see a milestone in the Gutenberg repo for 6.1.2. Would
 it be possible to ensure that
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/46073 GB 46073] gets assigned
 there when the milestone is available?
