-Your widget has been deployed and is ready for testing in Service Portal.

-- Widget creation succeeded (API returned success)
-- Verification failed due to read permissions (403 error)
-- This is common in production/restricted ServiceNow instances
-- Your widget is deployed and functional despite the verification error`
