# Quality Gate review Decision: **hold** Page: SYNTHETIC: Fieldnote planning kit Public URL: https://example\.com/fieldnote Revision: fictional\-preview\-r3 Scope: Entirely synthetic training fixture\. Fictional desktop and narrow viewport, keyboard path, request form and success/error states\. Not a real website inspection\.
