Why
We found microVMs where TypeScript language server subprocesses (
tsserverandtypingsInstaller) could consume multiple GiB of memory and contribute to system-side memory pressure. The matching goval PR contains pid1-side cgroup containment; this PR puts TypeScript-specific language-server defaults in the module that owns the language-server config.What changed
disableAutomaticTypingAcquisition = truefortypescript-language-serverto avoid automatic@types/*discovery/install work by default.maxTsServerMemory = 1536to cap the TypeScript server V8 old-space budget.tsserver.fallbackPathunchanged.Test plan
nix fmt .nix eval .#activeModules.typescript-language-server --jsonnix build .#typescript-language-server --no-linkRollout
This is safe to revert. Reverting restores the previous TypeScript language-server initialization options.
