Very interesting to browse the pnpm monorepo, I'm left wondering if pnpm decided on using project references knowing things like "strict" doesn't work across projects, or if it was a case of "good enough" and you don't actually hit that problem…🤔
At this point I'm more confused about how Typescript intends their References feature should be used than when I began these articles, I'm not at all sure how tsconfig options get merged, if they do at all. Am I the only person who was expecting projects to be truly separate?
I see all your packages make use of "outDir" and "rootDir" and I think those settings only get used when running tsc -b or equivalent to build to source, which I assume you run before publishing the packages. My only concern is the runtime though and in that context I'm hitting the strict-failure, and when I can't clearly read why from the documentation I start dreaming about a world without Typescript 😄.
I've noted meta-updater for later research, I think it's exactly what I'll be looking for to help script away the downsides I ended up on in attempt 3.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
In the pnpm monorepo we also use project references.
I created this helper package to generate the tsconfig files: github.com/pnpm/meta-updater
Here's how we use it: github.com/pnpm/pnpm/blob/main/uti...
That looks good Zoltan, thanks for the links!
