 Use exactly the same process as for making patches in the first place, i.e. make more changes, run patch-package, commit the changes to the patch file.

+## Current Patches
+
+### jest-config
+
+`jest-config` needed a patch that fixes an issue that's stated here:
+
+[Unknown option testTimeout validation warning when used in project specific config](https://github.com/jestjs/jest/issues/14513)
+
+This is fixed on jest version 30 but it's still in beta. Once out of beta, this patch can be removed.
