From discord chat, my understanding is community scripts on first install are converted to base64 and imported into the database. The unique key is the "name": field. If that is changed then it will think it's a new script and can break things.

First
Add new field in community_scripts.json
uuid: that will be the unique database identifier (need method of creating it the first time).

Second
Update script needs to be fixed so that:
All community scripts database entries unique key is changed from name: to uuid:

Third
Update script needs to be fixed so that:
If a community script is deleted (uuid: no longer there) and is not in use purge from local database
OR
If a community script is deleted (uuid: no longer there) AND it's currently in use in the local install the script should be converted from a community (unmodifiable) script to a userdefined script (so we don't break existing automation profiles).
