Problem
biome check . currently scans too much of the repository and is not useful as a CI/review gate.
Observed during a Metareview run on PR #5491 / commit 62462fe1:
Checked 1243 files.
Found 24894 errors.
Found 25034 warnings.
Found 1565 infos.
The first diagnostics are formatting changes for .greptile/config.json and .greptile/files.json, and the scan also reaches large generated/bundled assets. There is no biome.json / biome.jsonc in the repo root, so a plain Biome invocation has no project-specific include/ignore policy.
Why it matters
A check with 50k+ diagnostics cannot serve as an actionable gate. It also hides real web/JS regressions inside generated assets and tool configuration formatting churn.
Suggested fix
- Add a root
biome.json / biome.jsonc with explicit includes for source files Biome should own.
- Ignore generated/bundled/vendor outputs and tool metadata that should not be formatted by Biome.
- Document the intended command, for example
biome check <configured paths>.
- Optionally add a CI job only after the baseline is clean or intentionally scoped.
Verification
Run the intended Biome command and confirm diagnostics are actionable and bounded to maintained source files.
