Subject: [PATCH] Removed @tryghost/parse-email-address from pnpm dev fan-out
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

parse-email-address is a 20-line workspace package wrapping the npm
parse-email-address module. Its dev script ran tsc --watch continuously
(~145 MB RSS, plus another ~145 MB of Nx run-executor + pnpm wrapper
overhead) to emit build/index.js + build/index.d.ts.

ghost/core runs with node --conditions=source --import=tsx (see
ghost/core/nodemon.json), so its runtime imports resolve through the
source export condition and load src/index.ts directly via tsx —
build/ is never read at runtime. But ghost/core type-checks against
the package types field, which points at build/index.d.ts, so a
fresh clone with no build/ would break editor type resolution.

Added a prepare script to parse-email-address so pnpm install builds
build/ once. tsconfig.tsbuildinfo and build/ are both gitignored, so a
true fresh clone always triggers the build. Source edits to this
package require a manual rebuild (or pnpm --filter @tryghost/parse-email-address
dev) — acceptable for a tiny rarely-touched package.

Net savings: 1 host process and ~290 MB RSS per dev session.
