ReplaceUIScript UnitPanel not having any effect

[LS97]

I'm trying to add an action button to the unit panel defined in UnitPanel.lua. I have copied over the example from the BlackDeathScenario, where they use ReplaceUIScript in modinfo to extend the GetUnitActionsTable function (see UnitPanel_BlackDeathScenario.lua). My mod is definitely getting loaded (I can see it through Firetuner) but the lua script that's supposed to run in the UnitPanel context is having no effect. I can't even get any logs from it if I put a print call right at the top of the file. Any ideas on what I'm missing?

I've attached the full compiled mod folder for reference, but here are the main relevant snippets:

modinfo

    <AddGameplayScripts id="SleepModUnitCommands">
      <File>Scripts/SleepMod_UnitCommands.lua</File>
    </AddGameplayScripts>
    <ReplaceUIScript id="SleepModUnitPanel">
      <Properties>
        <LuaContext>UnitPanel</LuaContext>
        <LuaReplace>UI/SleepMod_UnitPanel.lua</LuaReplace>
      </Properties>
    </ReplaceUIScript>
    <ImportFiles id="SleepModImportFiles">
      <File>Scripts/SleepMod_UnitCommandDefs.lua</File>
      <File>UI/SleepMod_UnitPanel.lua</File>
    </ImportFiles>

I know this is months late, and I don't really understand ModBuddy very well yet, but you might want to take a look at this post. Definitely helped me out a bit with my mod.

Annoyingly, the expansions already replace UnitPanel.lua with their own versions (UnitPanel_Expansion1.lua, UnitPanel_Expansion2.lua)

so your mod probably works in vanilla but not with expansions.
