## Changes

### PR [#2093](https://github.com/danielmiessler/Fabric/pull/2093) by [alecjmckanna](https://github.com/alecjmckanna): feat: add --readpattern flag to print pattern contents to terminal

- Adds a new `--readpattern <name>` CLI flag that prints the raw contents of a named pattern's `system.md` file to stdout, making it easy to inspect a pattern's instructions without navigating the filesystem manually.
- Custom pattern directories are respected: the user's custom patterns directory is checked first before falling back to the main patterns directory, consistent with all other pattern lookups.
