cy.intercept matches handlers in reverse order of definition, so the last one defined wins

When several cy.intercept calls match the same request, Cypress applies them starting from the most recently defined, which is the opposite of most routing libraries. That makes a broad catch-all defined in beforeEach overridable by a specific stub inside a test, and it also means a second general intercept added later in the same test silently shadows an earlier specific one.
Use it deliberately: put the default stub in beforeEach and override per test. When an intercept appears to be ignored, look for a later matching definition before suspecting the matcher itself. Note also that cy.route and cy.server were removed in Cypress 12, so code still calling them fails as an undefined command rather than warning. Aliased intercepts are awaited with cy.wait('@alias'), which yields the full request and response for assertions.
