Conditions: You are using Composer to manage your Drupal site dependencies and applying patches with cweagans/composer-patches. You may be using Acquia BLT.

Explanation: The problem is that cweagans/composer-patches is applying patches to Drupal Core after cloning it, leading Composer to believe you've modified the affected files and therefore to prompt you to overwrite them lest you unwittingly lose work in progress.

Solution: Configure Composer to discard-changes which "[sets] the default style of handling dirty updates when in non-interactive mode... [to] always discard changes in vendors", then modify your script to pass the --no-interaction flag. E.g.:

$ composer config discard-changes true

$ composer require -n drupal/examples
