When modifying configuration files (tsconfig.json, environment configs, build settings, etc.), always provide clear explanations for why the changes are necessary, what benefits they provide, and any potential impacts. Configuration changes can significantly affect build processes, development workflows, and application behavior, so reviewers and future maintainers need to understand the reasoning behind modifications.
Include explanations either in:
Example from TypeScript configuration:
{
"compilerOptions": {
// Enable composite mode for faster incremental builds with tsc --build
"composite": true,
// Ensure each file can be transpiled independently for bundlers like esbuild
"isolatedModules": true
},
"include": [
"src/**/*",
// Include lib directory to ensure web-tree-sitter.d.ts is type-checked during builds
"lib/**/*.ts"
]
}
This practice helps prevent confusion during code reviews and provides valuable context for future configuration maintenance.
