+When an existing Syncthing folder is physically nested in the qB data root,
+use a `local_path_overrides` entry to map that exact Syncthing API path through
+the same client bind mount. This enables hardlinks without creating two Docker
+mount boundaries for the same host files.

 The remaining node examples omit optional `[connection]`, `[jobs]`, and
 `[backup]` tables and therefore use these same defaults; deployments may
 override them per node.
