- **Module Type**: This package is built as ES modules (`"type": "module"` in package.json). All consumers must support ES modules.
- **Import Extensions**: All relative imports in TypeScript source files MUST include `.js` extensions (e.g., `from "./helpers.js"`). This is required for ES module resolution even though the source files are `.ts`.
- **JSON Imports**: JSON files (like ABI artifacts) must use import assertions: `import Foo from './path.json' assert { type: 'json' }`.
- **TypeScript Config**: `tsconfig.json` must specify:
-`"rootDir": "./src"` - Ensure flat output structure in `dist/`
- **Build Output**: Running `npx tsc` produces ES module `.js` files in `dist/` that can be consumed by both browser (Vite) and Node.js (≥14 with `"type": "module"`).
- **Container Mount**: Podman/Docker services now bind-mount `dist/` read-only from the host. Run `./scripts/build-kraiken-lib.sh` before `podman-compose up` or keep `scripts/watch-kraiken-lib.sh` running to rebuild automatically.
