Description

When running either the generate:liquid_ruby or generate:standard_filters rake tasks, Helpers.insert_patch will be used to append a patch to liquid code under tmp/liquid if the patch isn't already included in that file. That means that if the file is modified, then it won't find it included and append the modified patch after the previous patch. This can lead to confusion and/or incorrect results when modifying that patch.

Research direction

Start with Helpers.insert_patch and the generate:liquid_ruby and generate:standard_filters rake tasks, then inspect how patches under tmp/liquid are detected. Reproduce the behavior by modifying an existing patch and rerunning generation. Done means regeneration does not append a second copy after the modified patch.
