Walkthrough

Documentation was enhanced across two configuration guide files (English and Simplified Chinese) to explain Biome's --config-path option and BIOME_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. The additions detail how these features override standard configuration resolution, with specific guidance on behaviour when pointing to files versus directories, and how file extensions determine whether JSON or JSONC parsing is applied.

I don't think a note is needed. You're simply extending the resolution chapter

In the es lang, that note was in place and added as-is.


If it isn't needed after all, all notes should be deleted then
