Flagged for review

Audit code: flagged-for-review

Definition

A designer hit Shift+F on this glyph to mark it for follow-up review — a designer-set reminder, not a rule violation. The flag clears with another Shift+F. Useful for batch-marking glyphs that need refinement on a second pass without losing track (e.g. the bespoke Cyrillic shapes Я Ж Ф that ship as sketches in the demo project).

How Patens surfaces this

The Patens audit module checks for flagged-for-review across five teaching surfaces: the edit-panel inline issue list, the project-wide audit page, the release pre-flight check, the family hub, and the home-page project tile. Every surface shows the same plain-English explanation and links back to this page. This rule is detection-only — there's no automatic fix because the correction is design-dependent (it requires a judgment call about the glyph's intended shape or the font's intended behaviour). The audit message links to the specific glyph or field that needs attention.

Run this check yourself

Patens runs every audit rule live as you draw — including this one. The editor (in private alpha) shows flagged-for-review firing on real glyphs, or check your own work from the CLI:
