You seem like a visual learner; so I decided that you might prefer a youtube video that explains things step by step, and also shows it for you frame by frame.

Starts with var timer = Timer.new() -> add_child(timer), shows the node appearing under Remote while the game is running, and explains common pitfalls such as forgetting to set timer.one_shot, wait_time, or autostart.

On the @tool documentation they do this exact thing

    # and persist changes made by the tool script to the saved scene file.
    node.owner = get_tree().edited_scene_root
