Pattern Catalogue 2.0 Harmonisation #385

Context

During the catalogue restructuring, several groups of patterns were identified that overlap significantly or are too narrowly scoped. The team agreed to merge these into broader, higher-level patterns and to broaden overly specific patterns rather than simply removing them.

Following the Patterns 2.0 launch, the team agreed to extend this work into a full catalogue quality review — auditing all existing patterns for overlap, duplication, staleness, and consistency against the current pattern template. Paula raised that teams she works with get overwhelmed when directed to the catalogue without a clear sense of what to prioritise, and that the reorganisation surfaced more consolidation opportunities beyond the initially identified set.

A full categorisation review has now been completed. The tables below capture all proposed changes to existing patterns, and the new patterns that should replace them where applicable.
