| Rule | Behavior |
|---|
| Match | Overlay id (or _ref) → script node id |
| Most keys | Overlay replaces the script value |
commands | Overlay commands are appended after script commands |
| Absent keys | Script values kept |
_ref is an alternative to id in an overlay entry when you prefer not to repeat the node id; it matches a script node the same way.
