Research direction

Start by reviewing how +meta.json is currently associated with each +page.marko and how route subtrees are resolved. Define the cascade, overriding, and augmenting behavior for a shared meta file, with completion marked by documented behavior and tests covering inheritance and overrides.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently meta files +meta.json needs to exist per +page.marko. We can't cascade the same meta file for an entire sub-tree of routes at once. Such a capability could be quite useful to set default meta, and only overriding/augmenting where it makes sense. Perhaps something like https://www.11ty.dev/docs/data-cascade/

Can we have such a feature?
