What's the difference between generated and customizable files?

Updated 20 August 2026·1 views

File categories

Every generated file is tagged with a category: | Category | Behaviour | |---|---| | generated | Refreshed every run — e.g. routing/navigation files. Don''t hand-edit these. | | customizable | Generated once, then yours to edit — e.g. auth screens, page UI, the nav component. | | root | Project-level files like .env.example. | Each run computes a checksum of every generated file and compares it to the file on disk. If a customizable file no longer matches what was last generated, it''s flagged as customized and skipped on the next run — so your edits are never overwritten.
