Research direction
Start with the linked CodePen reproduction and compare the symbol layer behavior at multiple zoom levels with symbol-placement set to line-center and text-allow-overlap enabled. Trace the label placement and collision behavior for this configuration, then verify that the text remains visible at each zoom level without regressing other symbol-placement modes.
