WIP and experimental. Do not merge yet.

Try pinned tsc-rs@0.1.0 for workspace typechecks while preserving T3 Code's Effect diagnostics and editor support.

On macOS ARM64 and Linux x64, TypeScript workspace checks now use one Rust compiler pass with native Effect diagnostics. The separate Go/Effect diagnostics pass is removed. Other platforms and custom compiler flags, including watch mode, keep Effect-patched TypeScript with a visible notice. Marketing keeps astro check.

Keep typescript, @effect/tsgo, and the prepare patch for the fallback compiler and Effect editor features. The release includes diagnostics, but not Effect quick fixes, refactors, hover, or completions. The replay recorder's placeholder has its intended transcript type without casts or suppressions.

Validation:

  • All 14 migrated workspace commands pass on macOS ARM64.
  • All 231 baseline Effect diagnostics match, including numeric codes, severity, location, and message text.
  • Error, warning, suggestion, mixed TypeScript/Effect error, config inheritance, file and next-line directive, test-file override, exit-code option, and no-plugin probes match the reference compiler.
  • Frozen installation and targeted lint/format checks pass.
  • Clean Linux x64 npm installation and the shared-package native Effect check pass. The workspace check runs against a read-only mount.

Windows and Linux ARM64 still use the existing compiler. Custom compiler arguments retain the existing behavior while native watch/build behavior receives more testing. No production, live state, or preview channels changed.

Complete-check timings on this Mac ARM64 with Node 24.21.0. Medians of three sequential runs per command, with command order alternated. The web .tsbuildinfo was cleared before each sample and restored afterward so both compilers did real checks. Every run passed. Filesystem caches remained warm; these are local measurements, not CI timings.

Workspace Existing Go + Effect tsc-rs with native Effect Speedup
apps/server 12.46s 6.02s 2.07×
apps/web 6.22s 3.33s 1.87×
apps/mobile 2.35s 1.22s 1.93×
packages/client-runtime 2.20s 1.25s 1.77×
packages/shared 0.92s 0.50s 1.83×

The complete native checks are 1.77–2.07× faster in these five projects, taking 43–52% less time. These timings include the required Effect diagnostics.

Created with GPT-6.1 Sol in Codex.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR changes the compiler used by most workspace typechecks and adds a file-level suppression of an Effect static-analysis diagnostic. The supported-platform path also has an unresolved concern about whether all existing Effect diagnostics remain enforced, requiring human validation.

Not approved because:

  • 1 blocking correctness issue found at or above your repo's Minimum Blocking Severity

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Workspace typecheck scripts now invoke a shared runner. On Darwin ARM64 and Linux x64, the runner uses tsc-rs when no extra arguments are supplied. In other cases, it uses Effect-patched TypeScript and forwards extra arguments.

Changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Compiler selection and execution
package.json, pnpm-workspace.yaml, scripts/typecheck.ts
The repository adds tsc-rs and configures its package installation. The runner selects tsc-rs on supported platforms when no extra arguments are supplied. Otherwise, it uses Effect-patched TypeScript and forwards extra arguments.

Workspace typecheck scripts now invoke the shared runner. The development documentation describes compiler selection and retained Effect tooling. The replay fixture placeholder now has an explicit ProviderReplayTranscript annotation; its fields and values are unchanged. Knip includes typecheck.ts in the scripts entry list.

On macOS ARM64 and Linux x64, typecheck can succeed even when the Effect-patched TypeScript compiler reports configured @effect/language-service errors, because this branch runs only tsc-rs. Run the patched compiler after the Rust pass and combine their exit statuses.

Run the second compiler pass after tsc-rs.

On Darwin arm64 or Linux x64 with no extra arguments, the script runs only tsc-rs. If it exits with a nonzero status, the script sets process.exitCode and ends without running Effect-patched TypeScript, contrary to the PR’s stated two-pass behavior.
