elementor/list-kits lists every Elementor kit on the site and marks the active one.
A kit is where a site’s global styling lives, and only one is active at a time.

How it works
Elementor templates are posts of the elementor_library post type, distinguished by a template_type meta value. Kits and global widgets are the same post type with different types — which is why they appear in the same place and behave differently.
A kit holds the global colours, the global typography, button styling, form defaults, layout defaults and site-wide custom CSS. Every element that references a global rather than a local value reads from the active kit.
That makes switching kits a whole-site restyle in one operation, and it makes the distinction between the active kit and the others important — editing an inactive kit changes nothing visible, which is a confusing afternoon if you do not know.
Most sites have one kit and never think about it. Sites that have imported a template kit, or been through a redesign, often have several, with the old ones sitting inert.
