 Most development on the codebase is in Go.
 Standard Go commands and practices apply, but we primarily use a tool called `hereby` to build, run tests, and other tasks.

 ## Compiler Features, Fixes, and Tests
 
 When fixing a bug or implementing a new feature, at least one minimal test case should always be added in advance to verify the fix.
 This project primarily uses snapshot/baseline/golden tests rather than unit tests.
 New compiler tests are written in `.ts`/`.tsx` files in the directory `testdata/tests/cases/compiler/`, and are written in the following format:
 
+**Note:** Issues with editor features cannot be tested with compiler tests in `testdata/tests/cases/`. Editor functionality requires integration testing with the language server.

 It is fine to implement more and more of a feature across commits, but be sure to update baselines every time so that reviewers can measure progress.
 
+## Code Porting Reference
+
+The code in `internal` is ported from the code in `_submodules/TypeScript`.
+When implementing features or fixing bugs, those files should be searched for similar functions when code is either missing or potentially wrong.
+The TypeScript submodule serves as the reference implementation for behavior and functionality.
