 === Patch Testing Report

 Patch Tested: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/10248

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 7.0-alpha-61215-src
 - PHP: 8.2.30
 - Server: nginx/1.29.4
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 9.5.0 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.30)
 - Browser: Chrome 144.0.0.0
 - OS: macOS
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.4
 - MU Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * Classic Editor 1.6.7
   * Hello Dolly 1.7.2
   * Test Reports 1.2.1

 === Steps taken

 1. Started with a clean WordPress trunk install.
 2. Activated Twenty Twenty-Five (block theme).
 3. Navigated to:
    /wp-admin/site-editor.php
 4. Opened:
    Templates → Twenty Twenty-Five → Page: 404
 5. Clicked the 3-dot menu → Edit → Code editor.
 6. Observed the resolved pattern block markup.

 7. Before applying the patch: The resulting root block contains NO
 metadata.
 8. Applied PR.
 9. Repeated the same steps and checked Code editor again.

 10. ✅ After applying the patch:
 - The resolved root block now includes metadata.
 - Found:
 `"metadata":{"patternName":"twentytwentyfive/hidden-404","name":"404"}`

 === Expected result
 - Pattern blocks converted inside templates should retain pattern metadata
 - Root block should contain:
   metadata.patternName and metadata.name
 - Editor can distinguish patterns from normal block groups

 === Additional Notes
 - Verified behavior only affects resolved blocks in the Site Editor (not
 theme template files directly).
 - Tested saving, refreshing, and reopening — metadata remains intact.
 - No performance or UI regressions observed.
