Description
When uploading an image to the gallery, the block should lock the editor from auto-saving the post so that unfinished uploads, i.e. so called "blob" images don't get stored in the content.
There should be this mechanism in Slideshow block but last time I tested it didn't work very well.
WIP code in https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/pull/31147
Fairly straightforward to implement for anyone getting into block-editor/JS development.

Research direction
Start with the Tiled gallery block's image-upload flow and compare it with the locking mechanism in the Slideshow block. Review the WIP code in Automattic/wp-calypso pull request 31147 for context. Done means the editor cannot auto-save unfinished blob images while an upload is in progress.
