 *
 * Idempotent. Calling with `null` clears the override.

 *
 * Throws on schema violation — an invalid rules file is a hard
 * failure because the product's correctness depends on it.
 *
 * In non-Node environments (Workers, browsers), `import.meta.url` may
 * not resolve to a usable path; in that case, callers MUST set the
 * override via `setBundledRules()` before any lookup.
