Description
PR https://github.com/WordPress/pattern-directory/pull/477 introduced some content validation on the PHP side, but it would be nice if we could validate the pattern content before sending someone through the whole submission modal.
From https://github.com/WordPress/pattern-directory/pull/477#issuecomment-1100960512
Could we run the < 3 & > 75 checks on clicking Submit and show the red notice as is? That would make the creator align more with the way Gutenberg handles content/API errors. The title validation could be done inline where the input is in the modal... before going through the hassle of writing a description and choosing categories just to have it fail at something that was technically step 1.

Research direction
Review PR #477 and its linked issue comment first to understand the existing PHP validation and the submission modal flow. Trace where the modal handles Submit and where the current content checks run. Done means the <3 and >75 content checks happen on Submit with the existing red notice, while title validation occurs inline before the remaining modal steps.
