Name the script for what it does, now that it serves two providers

`link-polyfill.ts` handled one provider. It now handles two through a registry,
one of which is not a polyfill, so both the filename and the `link:` verb said
something false — and a name that is short but wrong misleads more than an opaque
one would.

It becomes `overlay-local-checkout.ts`, which is the operation: it copy-overlays a
local package checkout into node_modules for development. "link" also implied a
symlink, which is precisely what the script exists NOT to do — its own header
spends a paragraph on why.

No behaviour changed: same registry, same copy, same `--once`, same watch loop,
same assertion. Both providers exercised afterwards, each reporting the singletons
it must preserve — one package for the data layer, two for the indexing package,
whose own checkout carries `file:` links and would otherwise smuggle in a second
verifier.

Seven references repaired by rewriting the sentence that carried them rather than
swapping a path, across the script, `package.json`, `.env.example` and four
doctrine leaves. No compatibility alias left behind: an old name kept "just in
case" would restore exactly the ambiguity being removed.

/**
* overlay-local-checkout.ts — Reactive local overlay of a data-layer PROVIDER's checkout
* into node_modules. One script, one provider per run; only the paths differ between them.
*
* PROVIDERS (first non-flag argument; defaults to `polyfill`):
* polyfill → node_modules/@ng-eventually/polyfill override: NG_EVENTUALLY_LOCAL
* indexing → node_modules/@ng-helpers/indexing override: NG_HELPERS_LOCAL
*
* WHY a copy-overlay and not a symlink (identical for every provider):
* A committed prod dependency installs from Gitea (git+https) into pnpm's store WITHOUT
* its own node_modules/@ng-org, so @ng-org/web resolves UP to Festipod → ONE @ng-org
* instance (one verifier). A local CHECKOUT, however, carries its own node_modules/*
* (links into that provider's own dev tree). Symlinking node_modules/<pkg> to the
* checkout would put the checkout's copies in the resolution path → a SECOND @ng-org
* (and, for `indexing`, a second @ng-eventually/polyfill) → broken SDK, two verifiers.
* So we overlay a real directory containing ONLY the provider's source (no node_modules):
* shared packages still resolve up to Festipod, single instance preserved.
*
* WHAT IT DOES:
* 1. Replaces node_modules/<package> (the pnpm store symlink) with a real directory
* holding the local checkout's package.json + src (NO node_modules).
* 2. Asserts the single-instance invariant — every package this provider SHARES with
* Festipod must resolve to the same realpath from Festipod and from the overlay —
* and aborts if it would break.
* 3. Watches the local checkout's src and copies each change into the overlay.
*
* ⚠️ RESTART `bun run dev` AFTER THIS SCRIPT WRITES — a rebuild is NOT a substitute.
* A running dev server NEVER picks up a package refreshed inside node_modules, not even
* across a genuine rebuild: VERIFIED in a controlled test, an application-source edit
* produced a new bundle hash and the rebuilt bundle STILL carried the stale dependency.
* The server's resolution of that import is pinned at process start and a rebuild does not
* re-resolve it. Only restarting serves the fresh copy, and nothing warns you — a stale
* server looks exactly like a current one. See
* .project/concepts/tech-stack/caveat_polyfill-overlay-needs-a-dev-restart.md, which cost
* an hour to learn. Watching copies the files; it does not make anything reload them.
*
* USAGE (reactive dev):
* Terminal 1: pnpm run overlay:polyfill # or: pnpm run overlay:indexing
* Terminal 2: bun run dev # portless festipod bun --hot src/index.ts
* Edit the checkout's src → it lands in node_modules → RESTART dev to pick it up.
*
* pnpm run overlay:indexing --once # overlay + verify, no watch (CI / one-shot)
* Return to the committed git-installed dependencies: pnpm install
