Explanation
In Azure Pipelines, variables can be defined at four scopes with the following precedence (highest to lowest): job, stage, pipeline root, and pipeline settings UI. A variable defined at a more specific/inner scope (like job) overrides the same variable defined at a broader/outer scope (like pipeline root or pipeline settings UI), following the principle that the most local definition wins. The pipeline settings UI (variable groups or variables set in the Azure DevOps portal) has the lowest precedence and can be overridden by any inline variable definition in the YAML file.
