 * I created a child theme for a FSE Theme – Blocksbuilder, using Create Block Theme
   plugin, but I notice it does not create a functions.php. Do I have to do that
   manually, and if so what should it contain?
 * Going forward, will the child theme pick up parent theme updates as the classic
   child theme does, and not overwrite any child theme development?
 * thanks.

 * For block themes, the existence of a functions.php is not a requirement.
 * If you created a child theme and modify it, the parent theme updates should work
   as always.
