Overlay Patch is a GitOps term for a targeted change layered onto a base manifest. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: Argo CD documentation; Flux documentation.
“The team used Overlay Patch before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”
