Amends 0001: the config format rule below applies to every repository
file.
Context
Repository config was a mix of JSON, JSONC and YAML. The owner decided on 2026-10-20 (PR #30, STA-147; mem L363–366) to use YAML wherever the tool reads it, keep JSONC only where the tool has no YAML support, and drop.infisical.json.
Decision
- YAML first. Repository config is YAML wherever the reader supports YAML.
- Converted.
models.yamland.mcp.yaml(which renders.mcp.json) are YAML..infisical.jsonis dropped;.infisical.yamlis the real CLI file. - JSONC where YAML is unsupported. turbo, oxlint, oxfmt, knip and opencode stay JSONC. They are listed in
MUST_STAY_JSONC. - Strict JSON only where comments are impossible. Those files are listed in
MUST_STAY_JSON.
Consequences
- An agent reads one format for each file type, and the validator names the exceptions.
runbooks/secrets.mdxno longer mentions.infisical.json(final pass).
Enforcement
planned —pnpm validate checks the exception lists against each file’s extension.
