## 1. Development Environment

- **TypeScript**: Use strictest practical rules. Inline in `tsconfig.json` (not
  via `@tsconfig/strictest`). The rule set is: `strict`, `noImplicitAny`,
  `noImplicitThis`, `alwaysStrict`, `strictNullChecks`, `strictFunctionTypes`,
  `strictBindCallApply`, `strictPropertyInitialization`, `noImplicitReturns`,
  `noFallthroughCasesInSwitch`, `noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, `noImplicitOverride`,
  `noUnusedLocals`, `noUnusedParameters`, `forceConsistentCasingInFileNames`,
  `isolatedModules`, `verbatimModuleSyntax`.
- **EditorConfig**: Use `.editorconfig` from typescript-lib-starter-tiny.
- **oxfmt**: Rust-based formatter, Prettier-compatible. Replaces Prettier.
  Config in `.oxfmtrc.json` (same shape as `.prettierrc`).
- **oxlint**: Rust-based linter. Replaces ESLint. Config in `.oxlintrc.json`
  with `typescript`, `unicorn`, `oxc`, `import` plugins. Categories enabled
  as errors: `correctness`, `suspicious`, `restriction`. As warnings: `perf`,
  `style`. `nursery` is off. Type-aware rules are enabled via
  `options.typeAware: true` in `.oxlintrc.json` (no CLI flag needed);
  the linter then uses `oxlint-tsgolint` for rules that require type
  information.
- **oxlint-tsgolint**: TypeScript-Go-backed type-aware linter for oxlint.
  Activated by `options.typeAware: true` in `.oxlintrc.json`. Native
  bindings installed as `optionalDependencies` per platform (same
  pattern as oxlint).
- **oxlint rules disabled by design** (in `.oxlintrc.json`):
    - `eslint/no-undefined` — we use `undefined` as the no-match sentinel.
    - `eslint/sort-keys` — handler/case order is semantic, not alphabetical.
    - `eslint/id-length` — `T`, `R`, `U`, `V` are standard TS generics.
    - `import/no-named-export` — false positive on library entry re-exports.
    - Stylistic rules superseded by oxfmt (oxfmt is the canonical
      formatter; these rules either conflict with its output or
      duplicate features oxfmt already provides):
        - `eslint/one-var` — oxfmt uses comma-joined `const`
          declarations; oxlint wanted to split them.
        - `import/group-exports` — oxfmt keeps separate `export`
          statements as-is.
        - `import/exports-last` — statement ordering is up to oxfmt.
        - `eslint/sort-imports` — replaced by oxfmt's built-in
          `sortImports` (enabled in `.oxfmtrc.json`).
        - `import/consistent-type-specifier-style` — inline
          `import { type X, Y }` is intentional for grouping.
        - `unicorn/prefer-export-from` — conflicts with how the
          barrel `src/index.ts` re-exports through `src/match.ts`.
        - `typescript/method-signature-style` — method signatures
          in `interface` are conventional TS ergonomics.
          For `*.test.ts` files additionally: `no-unused-expressions` (for
          `expectTypeOf(...)` calls), `no-empty-file` (we have a single import
          per test file in some cases), `import/no-nodejs-modules` (we use
          `node:test`/`node:assert`/`node:fs` intentionally), `eslint/no-magic-numbers`
          (literals in tests are fine).
- **Import sorting**: built into oxfmt (no separate plugin).
- **cspell**: Basic spelling configuration. Words dictionary in `cspell.json`
  covers tooling names (`oxlint`, `oxfmt`, `oxc`, `nodenext`,
  `oxfmtrc`, `oxlintrc`, `EDITMSG`, `typescriptteam`,
  `gitmoji`, `dbaeumer`, `msvc`) and a few library names (`tslib`,
  `typefest`, `lefthook`).
- **Lefthook**: Pre-commit checks (run in parallel, lefthook v2 schema).
  Single source of truth for the underlying commands is in
  `package.json#scripts`; the lefthook config only describes _what to
  run on which files_. Hooks that should run on staged files
  (`oxlint`, `oxfmt`, `cspell`) set the `LEFTHOOK_FILES` env var to
  the staged-files list via a `sh -c` wrapper, and the npm script
  uses `${LEFTHOOK_FILES:-<default>}` to default to the full project
  when invoked manually:
    - `pre-commit.commands.oxlint` (glob `*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx,mjs,cjs}`):
      `sh -c 'LEFTHOOK_FILES="$0" npm run check:oxlint' {staged_files}`
    - `pre-commit.commands.oxfmt` (glob `*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx,mjs,cjs}`):
      `sh -c 'LEFTHOOK_FILES="$0" npm run check:oxfmt' {staged_files}`
    - `pre-commit.commands.cspell`:
      `sh -c 'LEFTHOOK_FILES="$0" npm run check:cspell' {staged_files}`
    - `pre-commit.commands.typecheck`:
      `npm run check:tsc` (no file args needed)
      `outdated` is intentionally NOT a pre-commit check (it can flag
      upstream patch releases that aren't actionable locally); it runs in
      CI and via the explicit `lefthook run outdated` command.

- **Additional Dev Dependencies**:
    - lefthook
    - check-outdated
    - c8 (coverage for `node --test`)
    - expect-type (type-level assertions in tests)
    - oxfmt, oxlint (with their native bindings as `optionalDependencies`
      so the correct binding is selected per platform automatically)
    - typescript (TS 7)
    - @types/node
    - tslib (available for future runtime helper imports)
    - type-fest (utility types)

## 2. Build & Test

- **Build Tool**: TypeScript 7 (`tsc`) — no bundler, no Vite. The build
  is a plain `tsc -p tsconfig.build.json` invocation that emits ESM
  JavaScript and `.d.ts` declarations to `dist/`. ESM only, no CJS.
- **Testing**: Node's built-in `node --test` with `--strip-types` (Node
  22.6+, unflagged on Node 24/26). Test files are co-located with
  source as `*.test.ts`. No Vitest.
- **TypeScript Build Output**: `dist` directory (set in
  `tsconfig.build.json#outDir`; `tsconfig.json` keeps `outDir` for
  editor tooling but excludes tests from emission via
  `tsconfig.build.json#exclude`).
- **Import extensions**: Source uses `.ts` extensions in imports
  (e.g. `from "./match.ts"`) so `node --strip-types` resolves them
  at test time. TypeScript's `rewriteRelativeImportExtensions` (in
  `tsconfig.build.json`) rewrites these to `.js` in the emitted
  `dist/*` output, so consumers see conventional ESM imports.
- **TypeScript Compiler Options Notes**:
    - `allowImportingTsExtensions: true` is set in the root
      `tsconfig.json` (works because the root config has `noEmit: true`).
    - `rewriteRelativeImportExtensions: true` is set in
      `tsconfig.build.json` to rewrite `.ts` to `.js` on emit.
    - `module: nodenext`, `moduleResolution: nodenext` for ESM-first
      Node packages.
    - `verbatimModuleSyntax: true` enforces explicit `import type`.
    - `target: es2024`, `lib: ["es2024"]` (Node 26 supports all ES2024
      features natively).
- **Additional Dev Dependencies** (for types and tests):
    - `tslib` — available for runtime helper imports; not currently
      used by source (kept for future use per the original spec).
    - `type-fest` — utility types; not currently used by source
      (kept for future use per the original spec).
    - `@types/node` — types for `node:test`, `node:assert`, `node:fs`.
- **Node Version**: `>=26` (engines field). Pinned via `.node-version`
  for fnm/nvm/volta/mise auto-switching and CI
  (`actions/setup-node@v4` with `node-version-file: .node-version`).

## 3. Project Structure & Files

- **.gitignore**: Ignore `dist`, `node_modules`, `coverage`, and other
  common files.
- **.node-version**: Single line containing the Node major version
  (currently `26`). Used by version managers and CI.
- **.npmignore**: Ignore `node_modules/`, `coverage/`, `*.log`,
  `*.tsbuildinfo`, `src/`, `.vscode/`, `.editorconfig`,
  `.oxfmtrc.json`, `.oxlintrc.json`, `.node-version`, `cspell.json`,
  `lefthook.yml`, `commit-message-template`.
  (Note: `dist/` is included via `package.json#files`, not by absence
  from `.npmignore`.)
- **.oxfmtrc.json**: oxfmt configuration (Prettier-shaped).
- **.oxlintrc.json**: oxlint configuration.
- **.oxlintrc.json + .oxfmtrc.json** replace the old `.eslintrc.cjs`
  and `.prettierrc`.
- **LICENSE**: MIT.
- **README.md**: Scaffolded.
- **commit-message-template**: From typescript-lib-starter-tiny.
- **Target Environments**: Node 26 LTS only (no browser target; this
  is a pure Node library, no DOM, no DOM lib in tsconfig).
- **No React, No CJS, ESM only**.

## 4. Automation & Quality

- **Version Automation**: Use standard `npm version` for versioning.
- **Unused Dependency Check**: Use `check-outdated` (devDep, runs in CI
  and via the explicit `lefthook run outdated` command).
- **No commitlint, no conventional commits**. Commits use gitmoji
  prefixes (e.g. `:sparkles:`, `:wrench:`, `:bug:`, `:fire:`,
  `:white_check_mark:`, `:tada:`) for at-a-glance categorization.

## 5. Scripts

### PREFIX CONVENTION

Script names use a prefix that signals _when_ the script is intended
to run. A `<prefix>:<name>` script is implicitly aggregated by a
`<prefix>` script (if one exists) and run by the corresponding
lefthook hook or CI step. Picking the right prefix documents the
script's intended lifecycle:

- `check:*` — read-only verification. Aggregated by `npm run check`
  (which runs all `check:*` scripts in order). Called from the
  lefthook pre-commit hook on staged files, and from the CI build
  job on the full project. Read-only; never modifies files.
- `fix:*` — mutating counterpart of a `check:*` script. There is
  **no** `npm run fix` aggregator by design: fixes should be
  intentional, not batched. Run individually.
- `test:*` — test scripts. `npm run test` is the canonical entry
  point (`check:tsc` + unit tests); `test:unit` skips the typecheck
  for fast local iteration; `test:ci` adds c8 coverage and is the
  CI variant.
- `publish:*` — runs only at publish time, in the CI `publish` job
  (immediately before `npm publish`). There is **no** local
  `npm run publish` script — publishing is CI-only by policy (see
  §7). The `publish:` prefix still documents intent: this script
  validates the _publishable artifact_ (e.g., `dist/`) rather than
  the source.

A new script should pick the prefix that matches its lifecycle, not
invent a new one. If no existing prefix fits, that is a signal the
script does not belong in the standard pipeline.

### SETUP

- `use:git-commit-message`: Set up commit message template (if needed).

### TEST

- `test`: Run `check:tsc` then `node --test --strip-types "src/**/*.test.ts"`.
  The glob is required because Node 26 does not auto-discover test
  files in a bare directory argument (`node --test src/` is
  interpreted as a module path on Node 26+).
- `test:unit`: Run unit tests with `node --test --strip-types "src/**/*.test.ts"`
  (no preceding typecheck).
- `test:ci`: Run tests in CI mode with c8 coverage (text + lcov + html
  reporters), uploading `coverage/` as an artifact.

### BUILD

- `build`: Build the project using `tsc -p tsconfig.build.json`
  (emits `dist/*.js` + `dist/*.d.ts` + sourcemaps, with `.ts`
  imports rewritten to `.js`).

### CLEAN

- `clean`: Remove `dist/` via `node -e "fs.rmSync('dist', {recursive:true, force:true})"`.
  (Replaces `clean:build` from the original spec — same effect,
  no `rimraf` dep needed.)

### CHECK

- `check`: Run all checks in order — `check:oxlint`, `check:oxfmt`,
  `check:tsc`, `check:cspell`, `check:knip`, `check:outdated`.
- `check:oxlint`: `oxlint ${LEFTHOOK_FILES:-src}` — lints `src/` by
  default; when invoked from the lefthook pre-commit hook with
  `LEFTHOOK_FILES` set to the staged-files list, lints only those
  files. This is the single source of truth for the oxlint command
  and is shared between the manual `npm run check` and the pre-commit
  hook. Type-aware rules are activated declaratively via
  `options.typeAware: true` in `.oxlintrc.json` (not via a CLI flag),
  so the script command stays clean. oxlint only understands JS/TS-
  family languages, so config files (JSON/YAML/Markdown) are
  intentionally outside its scope; they are checked only by oxfmt.
  Source-level `oxlint-disable` directives are used to silence
  type-aware false positives in the generic type machinery: 4× for
  `typescript/no-unsafe-type-assertion` and 1× for
  `typescript/no-unnecessary-type-parameters` in `src/pattern.ts` /
  `src/match.ts` (legitimate type machinery that needs restructuring,
  documented in the source); 1× file-level for
  `typescript/no-floating-promises` in `src/index.test.ts`
  (`expectTypeOf(...)` is a sync type-assertion library that
  oxlint-tsgolint misidentifies).
- `check:oxfmt`: `oxfmt --check ${LEFTHOOK_FILES:-.}` — formats the
  whole project (`.`) by default, including JS/TS, JSON/JSONC,
  YAML, Markdown, MDX and other supported file types. From lefthook
  pre-commit, the `LEFTHOOK_FILES` env var scopes to the staged
  files matching `*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx,mjs,cjs,json,jsonc,yaml,yml,md,mdx}`.
  Built-in `sortPackageJson: true` keeps `package.json` keys
  alphabetized (replaces the former `sort-package-json` tool).
  Built-in import sorting (enabled via `sortImports: true`) replaces
  any external import-sort plugin.
- `check:tsc`: `tsc` (noEmit is set in `tsconfig.json`).
- `check:cspell`: `cspell lint ${LEFTHOOK_FILES:-.}` — walks the
  project root by default; from lefthook, only the staged files.
- `check:outdated`: `check-outdated --ignore-pre-releases --ignore-packages @oxfmt/binding-*,@oxlint/binding-*`. The oxc native bindings are declared as `optionalDependencies` so the correct one is selected per platform automatically; the `*`-platform bindings show as "not installed" on the current platform and are explicitly ignored here.
- `check:knip`: `knip --include dependencies,exports,files` — finds
  unused dependencies, value exports, and source files. The
  scoped `--include` list intentionally omits the `types`
  category, which produces systematic false positives for
  libraries whose exported types (e.g. `Matcher`, `Pattern`) are
  part of the public API and not consumed internally. The
  targeted scope keeps the signal high (real unused-dep
  detection) without config-file boilerplate.

### FIX

- `fix:oxlint`: `oxlint --fix src`.
- `fix:oxfmt`: `oxfmt ${LEFTHOOK_FILES:-.}` — same scoping as
  `check:oxfmt` (whole project by default, staged files from
  lefthook). Writes changes in place.
  (There is no `fix` aggregator in the scripts; run the `fix:*` scripts
  individually.)

### PUBLISH

- `publish:publint`: `publint` — runs the pack-and-lint flow against
  the current project (uses `npm pack` to validate the actual
  publishable artifact against `package.json`'s `files`, `exports`,
  `main`, etc.). Requires a fresh `build` to have populated `dist/`.
  Called by the CI `publish` job immediately before `npm publish`
  (see §6). Not part of `npm run check` and not run on commit:
  it validates publishing correctness, not source correctness.
- `publish:attw`: `attw . --pack --profile esm-only` — validates the
  emitted `.d.ts` declarations against multiple TypeScript
  module-resolution scenarios. Uses `--profile esm-only` because
  this package is intentionally ESM-only (no CommonJS shim); CJS
  resolution scenarios are explicitly out of scope by design, not
  a bug. Called by the CI `publish` job alongside `publish:publint`
  and `npm publish` (see §6). Not part of `npm run check` and not
  run on commit: same rationale as `publish:publint`.

### HOOKS

- Lefthook runs the relevant `check:*` scripts on staged files in
  parallel for pre-commit. See `lefthook.yml`.

### CHECK TIERS — what runs where and why

The `check:*` scripts are split across three execution contexts
based on **speed**, **scope** (staged files vs whole project), and
**side effects** (network, registry queries). The split is a
deliberate design choice; the rule of thumb is:

- **pre-commit hook**: fast, file-scoped, offline, deterministic.
  Catches what _you just changed_ in under a second or two.
- **`npm run check`**: full project audit. Slower, may query the
  network, runs everything that's not in pre-commit.
- **CI build job**: authoritative. Runs `npm run check` and
  `npm run test:ci` on every push and PR. The ground truth —
  if CI passes, the codebase is clean.

| Script            | pre-commit | `npm run check` | CI build | CI publish |
| ----------------- | :--------: | :-------------: | :------: | :--------: |
| `check:tsc`       |     ✅     |       ✅        |    ✅    |     —      |
| `check:oxlint`    |     ✅     |       ✅        |    ✅    |     —      |
| `check:oxfmt`     |     ✅     |       ✅        |    ✅    |     —      |
| `check:cspell`    |     ✅     |       ✅        |    ✅    |     —      |
| `check:knip`      |     —      |       ✅        |    ✅    |     —      |
| `check:outdated`  |     —      |       ✅        |    ✅    |     —      |
| `publish:publint` |     —      |        —        |    —     |     ✅     |
| `publish:attw`    |     —      |        —        |    —     |     ✅     |

#### Why these splits?

- **`check:tsc`, `check:oxlint`, `check:oxfmt`, `check:cspell`**
  are in pre-commit because they are fast (~0.2–0.5s each), fully
  offline, and naturally scope to staged files via the
  `LEFTHOOK_FILES` env var convention. They give instant feedback
  on what you typed.

- **`check:knip` is NOT in pre-commit** because it scans the whole
  project (not staged files) and takes ~4s. Adding it would
  roughly triple pre-commit time. It's still fast enough to run
  locally before pushing, and CI catches it regardless.

- **`check:outdated` is NOT in pre-commit** because (a) it queries
  the npm registry (~6.5s) which means network dependency in a
  hook, (b) the result is advisory, not a pass/fail correctness
  check, and (c) the same network call in CI or locally on demand
  gives the same answer. It belongs in scheduled or on-demand
  runs, not in a blocking hook.

- **`publish:publint` and `publish:attw` are NOT in `check`** —
  they belong to the `publish:` prefix (see above) because they
  validate the _publishable artifact_ (`dist/`) and require a
  fresh build. Running them on every commit would be wasteful
  (and slow, `npm pack` is involved). They run in the CI
  `publish` job immediately before `npm publish`.

#### What to do before pushing

Run `npm run check` locally. If you only trust pre-commit + CI,
know that anything `check:knip` or `check:outdated` would catch
will be caught by CI on the PR before merge (assuming branch
protection is configured to require CI to pass).

## 6. Repository & CI/CD

- **Repository**: Hosted on GitHub.
- **Build Pipeline**: GitHub Actions (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`).
    - `build` job on push and pull_request to `main` and on
      `workflow_dispatch`. Steps: `actions/checkout@v4`,
      `actions/setup-node@v4` (with `node-version-file: .node-version`,
      `cache: npm`), `npm ci`, `npm run build`, `npm run check`,
      `npm run test:ci`, then upload `coverage/` as an artifact.
      Runs the **full `check` chain** (all 6 `check:*` scripts) and
      the test suite with coverage. This is the authoritative gate —
      if it passes, the codebase is clean. See §5 ("CHECK TIERS")
      for which checks run here vs. locally vs. pre-commit.
    - `publish` job: only on `refs/tags/*`, depends on `build`. Steps:
      `actions/checkout@v4`, `actions/setup-node@v4` (with
      `node-version-file: .node-version` and `registry-url`),
      `npm ci`, `npm run build`, `npm run publish:publint` (see
      §5 for why this is `publish:` and not `check:`),
      `npm run publish:attw`, and `npm publish --access public`
      with `NODE_AUTH_TOKEN` from secrets. Runs the **publish-tier
      checks** that validate the publishable artifact before
      publishing to npm.

## 7. Versioning & Publishing

- **Version Update**: Use `npm version` to bump version after merging
  to main and before publishing.
- **Publishing to npm**: Only publish from CI on tagged commits.
- **Recommended Workflow**:
    1. Develop and merge PRs to main
    2. Run all checks via CI
    3. Bump version with `npm version <patch|minor|major>`
    4. Push tag to GitHub
    5. CI builds and publishes to npm on tag

## 8. NPM Keywords

- pattern-matching
- pattern
- match
- algebraic-data-types
- adt
- typescript

> The library is for pattern matching (not regex), similar to F#'s
> pattern matching, for TypeScript/ESM environments.

## 9. Code Coverage

- **Tool**: c8 (V8-native coverage, no instrumentation step).
- **Configuration**: c8 has no project config; the report shape is
  pinned in the `test:ci` script:

```jsonc
"test:ci": "c8 --reporter=text --reporter=lcov --reporter=html node --test --strip-types src/"
```

- **Reporters**: text summary, HTML, and lcov (matching the original
  spec).
- **CI**: `coverage/` is uploaded as a workflow artifact via
  `actions/upload-artifact@v4` (see `.github/workflows/ci.yml`).
- **Optional**: Coverage thresholds can be added in c8 config when the
  library surface stabilizes.

## 10. Source Structure & Tree Shaking

- **Source Directory**: All source code resides in `src/` and is
  exported via `src/index.ts`.
- **Configuration**:
    - `sideEffects: false` in `package.json` (set).
    - ESM-only exports; `package.json#exports` field maps `.` to
      `{"types": "./dist/index.d.ts", "import": "./dist/index.js"}`.
    - Avoid top-level side effects in modules.
    - Explicit re-exports in `index.ts` for best results.
- Source structure (current):
    - `src/index.ts` — public barrel.
    - `src/match.ts` — `match(value).with(...).exhaustive() / .otherwise(...)` builder.
    - `src/pattern.ts` — `P.literal`, `P.type`, `P.when`, `P.any`, `P.shape` constructors and the `Matcher<T>` interface.
    - `src/index.test.ts` — runtime + type-level tests using `node --test` + `expect-type`.
- The human will implement the source code.

## 12. Project Initialization & Commit Strategy

- Start by initializing git with a `main` branch.
- Initial commit: empty README + LICENSE.
- Create a feature branch: `feature/setup`.
- For each technology or tool added (and its configuration), create a
  separate commit:
    - Prepend each commit message with a matching gitmoji (e.g.
      `:sparkles:` for new features, `:wrench:` for config,
      `:bug:` for fixes, `:fire:` for removals,
      `:white_check_mark:` for tests, `:tada:` for initial commit).
    - Example commit messages used in this project:
        - `:tada: Initial commit with empty README`
        - `:wrench: Track .vscode/settings.json for workspace settings`
        - `:construction_worker: Added GitHub Actions workflow for CI/CD`
        - `:test_tube: Added Vitest configuration with coverage` (later removed)
        - `:sparkles: Scaffolded src/index.ts entry point for library code`
        - `:wrench: Replace Vite/Vitest with TypeScript 7 and node --test`
        - `:wrench: Replace ESLint and Prettier with oxlint and oxfmt`
        - `:fire: Remove Vite scaffold leftovers`
        - `:sparkles: Add initial pattern-matching API`
        - `:white_check_mark: Add expect-type for type-level tests`
        - `:wrench: Declare Node 26 as the supported runtime`
        - `:bug: Use .ts extensions in imports for node --strip-types`
        - `:wrench: Remove Prettier from editor formatter config`
- Each commit should include only the relevant files and configuration
  for that technology/tool. This approach ensures a clean, understandable
  project history and makes it easy to review or revert specific setup
  steps.

## 13. Changelog Automation

- Not currently configured. The intended workflow, when adopted, is a
  changesets-driven release process: feature PRs include a changeset,
  which gets consumed by a release workflow, producing a `CHANGELOG.md`
  and a version bump on merge to main.
- The changelog should be updated as part of the release process.

## 14. Publishing Public

- npm publishing is configured to be public by default.
- `publishConfig: { "access": "public" }` is set in `package.json`.
- The CI/CD pipeline publishes with `--access public` on tagged commits.

## 15. VSCode Integration

- `.vscode/settings.json` uses `oxc.oxc-vscode` as the default
  formatter for `[typescript]`, `[javascript]`, `[json]`, `[jsonc]`,
  `[markdown]`, `[mdx]`, and `[yaml]` (oxfmt under the hood).

```json
{
    "[typescript]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "oxc.oxc-vscode",
        "editor.formatOnSave": true
    },
    "[javascript]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "oxc.oxc-vscode",
        "editor.formatOnSave": true
    },
    "[json]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "oxc.oxc-vscode",
        "editor.formatOnSave": true
    },
    "[jsonc]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "oxc.oxc-vscode",
        "editor.formatOnSave": true
    },
    "[markdown]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "oxc.oxc-vscode",
        "editor.formatOnSave": true
    },
    "[mdx]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "oxc.oxc-vscode",
        "editor.formatOnSave": true
    },
    "[yaml]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "oxc.oxc-vscode",
        "editor.formatOnSave": true
    },
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "oxc.oxc-vscode",
    "editor.formatOnSave": true
}
```

- `.vscode/extensions.json` recommends:
    - `oxc.oxc-vscode` (oxlint + oxfmt, replaces eslint/prettier/vitest)
    - `streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker` (cspell)
    - `typescriptteam.native-preview` (TypeScript 7 nightly support;
      replaces the older `ms-vscode.vscode-typescript-next`)

```json
{
    "recommendations": [
        "oxc.oxc-vscode",
        "streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker",
        "typescriptteam.native-preview"
    ]
}
```

- `.vscode/tasks.json` is not currently provided; common tasks
  (build, test, lint, typecheck, format, spell, check:outdated) are
  run via the npm scripts in `package.json` from the integrated
  terminal.
- VSCode uses TypeScript 7 via the `typescriptteam.native-preview`
  extension, with `oxc.oxc-vscode` for formatting and linting.
