name: backend-build-check description: Ensure backend build readiness for Espresso Engineered. Use when backend code/config changes are made or when a feature/task is wrapping up to suggest running npm run build:backend (and tests only if requested).

Backend Build Check

Overview

Confirm the backend still builds cleanly after backend updates. Prompt to run the build when work is wrapping up.

Workflow

1. Detect trigger: backend files changed or user indicates a task/feature is finishing.
2. Suggest running npm run build:backend from repo root.
3. If the user agrees, run the command and report pass/fail.
4. If it fails, summarize the top errors and ask how they want to proceed.

Notes

Only run tests when explicitly asked. Respect sandbox/network constraints; if build requires escalation, request approval.
