Original template home.html
<!-- wp:group {"style":{"spacing":{"blockGap":"0"}},"backgroundColor":"tertiary","layout":{"type":"default"}} -->
<div class="wp-block-group has-tertiary-background-color has-background">
<!-- wp:template-part {"slug":"secondary-header"} /-->
<!-- wp:pattern {"slug":"adventurer/list"} /-->
<!-- wp:pattern {"slug":"adventurer/search"} /-->
<!-- wp:template-part {"slug":"footer","tagName":"footer"} /-->
</div>
<!-- /wp:group -->
Template after CBT Export
<!-- wp:pattern {"slug":"adventurer/home"} /-->
newly created home pattern
<?php
/**

?>

Note that newly created pattern copies the actual contents from the following patterns leaving them orphans.
<!-- wp:pattern {"slug":"adventurer/list"} /-->
<!-- wp:pattern {"slug":"adventurer/search"} /-->
Expectation
Pattern should reuse the existing patterns.
