An user patch is a chunk of lua code that modifies the runtime behaviour of the application. They are applied at runtime and the changes persist updates as long as the patch modify/hooks in functions that weren't removed or changed during the update.
It is a non invasive way of tweaking code for self-usage and the recommended way of implementing changes that aren't going to be merged upstream.
