   @bmx269 @nick-novak @samikeijonen @dalemoore @hanneslsm @davidallenlewis — the main ask here has shipped, released in 0.3.0 and available in the current v0.4.1.

   On the Taxonomy Filter block (and the Post Type Filter), in the block sidebar:

   • Display Type — Select (Dropdown), Radio (Single Choice), or Checkbox (Multiple Choice) for multi-select
   • Layout Direction — vertical or horizontal, once Display Type is Radio or Checkbox

   Or directly in a template via the displayType / layoutDirection attributes:

   <!-- wp:query-filter/taxonomy {"taxonomy":"category","displayType":"checkbox","layoutDirection":"horizontal"} /-->

   Selected terms are joined into one query var as a comma-separated slug list (?query-12-category=news,features) and expanded into a tax_query with 'operator' => 'IN' — so multiple terms within one taxonomy are OR'd, while separate filter blocks on the same loop are AND'd. Also worth knowing about, from the same work: maxVisibleTerms + showAllLabel collapse long term lists behind a "See all" toggle, and includeTerms / excludeTerms curate which terms appear.

   Leaving this open for the remaining part of the original request — showing term hierarchy in the filter (indented parent/child rather than a flat list), which isn't implemented. #10 covers the related case of listing only the children of a given parent term.
