<ResponseField name="Test source" type="repository">
  The single connected repository Watchtower scans for Playwright or Cypress spec files to build your Test Center inventory. Other connected repositories can still get Watchman analysis without being the test source.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Sync" type="action">
  The process of scanning your test source and reconciling Test Center with what's currently in the repository, adding new tests and marking removed or renamed ones as abandoned rather than deleting them outright.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Patrol" type="feature">
  Watchtower's test-runner workflow. Starts a Playwright or Cypress run, streams results live, and syncs outcomes back into Test Center.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Watchman" type="feature">
  AI-assisted analysis that reviews pull requests and commits in a connected repository against your existing test coverage.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Environment" type="concept">
  A named target you test against, such as staging or production. Configured under Codebase settings and usable as a filter or a Patrol run option.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Priority (P0–P3)" type="field">
  How critical a test is to a release: P0 (Critical/blocker), P1 (High), P2 (Medium), P3 (Low).
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Status" type="field">
  A test's current outcome: pass, fail, blocked, or pending. Set automatically for Patrol-controlled tests, or manually for others.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Quarantine" type="action">
  Removes a test from your release-health rollup without deleting it, useful for a known-flaky or known-broken test. Clears automatically the next time the test passes.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Abandoned test" type="state">
  A test whose original title no longer appears in your repository, usually after a rename. Watchtower preserves its history and comments and lets you rebind it to the new title.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Release Readiness" type="indicator">
  A GO / NO-GO / NOT-EVALUATED badge on the Dashboard, computed from your most recent Patrol run.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Trash" type="feature">
  Holds deleted tests for 30 days so they can be restored, before they're automatically purged.
</ResponseField>
