Description
Seems that even if you place a `amp/meta-author.php` template in your theme, the CAP template takes precedence. Ideally, the hierarchy should be:
Theme amp directory
CAP plugin template
AMP plugin template
This is easily fixed by unhooking the actions in `cap_add_amp_actions` but ideally it should function as described above.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the cap_add_amp_actions hook and how amp/meta-author.php is resolved when a theme provides it. Verify the current precedence, then confirm that the theme AMP template takes precedence over the CAP plugin template and the AMP plugin template.
