Source

Put patterns in patterns/*.php.
Patterns are registered automatically by WordPress core based on file headers.

Upstream reference:

Practical guardrails

Keep pattern markup stable; changing block names inside patterns can break older content in subtle ways.
If a pattern should not be inserted directly by users, mark it as non-inserter / internal-only (per upstream header conventions).
