+Do **not** override `build-base.outputs` in `project.json`. The `@nx/js/typescript` plugin reads `outDir` and `tsBuildInfoFile` from `tsconfig.lib.json` and infers the correct outputs (including the tsbuildinfo and the full set of file extensions). A hand-written override is almost always less complete than the inferred set.
+
 Update the existing `build` target's `outputs` if they reference `{workspaceRoot}/dist/packages/<name>` — they should now reference `{projectRoot}/dist/`.
 
 Also update `dependsOn` in the `build` target: replace `"^build"` with `"^build"` if it isn't already, and make sure `"build-base"` is listed.
