+# Configuration Migration Guide
+
+This guide explains how to migrate packages in the socket-cli monorepo to use the shared configuration architecture.
+
+## Overview
+
+The monorepo now has shared configuration files in `.config/` at the root level. Packages should extend these base configurations instead of duplicating settings.
+
+## Shared Configuration Files
+
+### Location: `.config/`
+
+- `tsconfig.base.json` - Base TypeScript settings
+- `tsconfig.build.json` - For build outputs with declarations
+- `tsconfig.test.json` - For test files
+- `vitest.config.base.mts` - Base Vitest test configuration
+- `eslint.config.mjs` - ESLint flat config (monorepo-wide)
+- `esbuild-inject-import-meta.mjs` - Import.meta polyfill for esbuild
+
+## Migration Steps by Configuration Type
+
+### TypeScript Configuration
+
+#### Before (Duplicated Config)
+
+```json
+{
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "target": "ES2024",
+    "module": "nodenext",
+    "strict": true,
+    "exactOptionalPropertyTypes": true,
+    "noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true,
+    // ... 30+ more options
+  },
+  "include": ["src/**/*.mts"],
+  "exclude": ["src/**/*.test.mts", "dist/**"]
+}
+```
+
+#### After (Extended Config)
+
+```json
+{
+  "extends": "../../.config/tsconfig.base.json",
+  "include": ["src/**/*.mts"],
+  "exclude": ["src/**/*.test.mts", "dist/**"]
+}
+```
+
+#### With Custom Paths
+
+For packages that need path mappings (like CLI with local dependencies):
+
+```json
+{
+  "extends": "../../.config/tsconfig.base.json",
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "paths": {
+      "@socketsecurity/lib": ["../../socket-lib/dist/index.d.ts"],
+      "@socketsecurity/registry": ["../../socket-registry/registry/dist/index.d.ts"]
+    }
+  },
+  "include": ["src/**/*.mts"],
+  "exclude": ["src/**/*.test.mts", "dist/**"]
+}
+```
+
+### Vitest Configuration
+
+#### Before (Duplicated Config)
+
+```typescript
+import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  test: {
+    globals: false,
+    environment: 'node',
+    include: ['test/**/*.test.{mts,ts}'],
+    exclude: [
+      '**/node_modules/**',
+      '**/dist/**',
+      // ... many more patterns
+    ],
+    pool: 'threads',
+    poolOptions: {
+      threads: {
+        singleThread: false,
+        maxThreads: 16,
+        minThreads: 4,
+        isolate: false,
+        useAtomics: true,
+      },
+    },
+    testTimeout: 30_000,
+    hookTimeout: 30_000,
+    coverage: {
+      provider: 'v8',
+      reporter: ['text', 'json', 'html', 'lcov', 'clover'],
+      // ... many more options
+    },
+  },
+})
+```
+
+#### After (Merged Config)
+
+```typescript
+import { defineConfig, mergeConfig } from 'vitest/config'
+import baseConfig from '../../.config/vitest.config.base.mts'
+
+export default mergeConfig(
+  baseConfig,
+  defineConfig({
+    test: {
+      include: [
+        'test/**/*.test.{mts,ts}',
+        'src/**/*.test.{mts,ts}',
+      ],
+      setupFiles: ['./test/setup.mts'],
+    },
+  })
+)
+```
+
+#### With Custom Settings
+
+For packages with special needs (e.g., longer timeouts, custom coverage):
+
+```typescript
+import { defineConfig, mergeConfig } from 'vitest/config'
+import baseConfig from '../../.config/vitest.config.base.mts'
+
+export default mergeConfig(
+  baseConfig,
+  defineConfig({
+    test: {
+      testTimeout: 120_000, // 2 minutes for slow tests
+      hookTimeout: 30_000,
+      coverage: {
+        thresholds: {
+          lines: 0,
+          functions: 0,
+          branches: 0,
+          statements: 0,
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  })
+)
+```
+
+### ESLint Configuration
+
+#### Root Level Only
+
+The ESLint configuration lives at the root and applies to the entire monorepo. Individual packages **do not** need their own ESLint configs.
+
+#### Package-Specific Rules (Rare)
+
+If a package truly needs custom ESLint rules, extend the root config:
+
+```javascript
+import rootConfig from '../../.config/eslint.config.mjs'
+
+export default [
+  ...rootConfig,
+  {
+    files: ['src/**/*.mts'],
+    rules: {
+      // Package-specific overrides
+      'no-console': 'warn',
+    },
+  },
+]
+```
+
+### esbuild Configuration
+
+#### Before (Relative Paths)
+
+```javascript
+import path from 'node:path'
+import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url'
+
+const __dirname = path.dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url))
+
+export default {
+  // ... config
+  inject: [path.join(__dirname, 'esbuild-inject-import-meta.mjs')],
+}
+```
+
+#### After (Shared Utility)
+
+```javascript
+import path from 'node:path'
+import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url'
+
+const __dirname = path.dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url))
+const rootPath = path.join(__dirname, '..')
+
+export default {
+  // ... config
+  inject: [path.join(rootPath, '..', '..', '.config', 'esbuild-inject-import-meta.mjs')],
+}
+```
+
+## Package-by-Package Migration Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Simple Packages (Low Risk)
+
+Start with packages that have minimal custom configuration:
+
+1. **packages/cli-with-sentry**
+   - Simple vitest config (just timeout overrides)
+   - Should extend base config easily
+
+2. **packages/socketbin-custom-node-from-source**
+   - Simple vitest config (just timeout overrides)
+   - Should extend base config easily
+
+3. **packages/socketbin-native-node-sea**
+   - Simple vitest config (just timeout overrides)
+   - Should extend base config easily
+
+4. **packages/socket**
+   - Simple vitest config with coverage overrides
+   - Should extend base config easily
+
+### Phase 2: Complex Package (Higher Risk)
+
+5. **packages/cli**
+   - Has complex .config/ subdirectory
+   - Multiple TypeScript configs (base, check)
+   - Custom esbuild configs
+   - Should migrate carefully, keeping package-specific build configs
+
+### Phase 3: Root Configs
+
+6. **Root vitest configs**
+   - `vitest.config.mts` - Already serves as template for base config
+   - `vitest.config.isolated.mts` - Keep for isolated test runs
+   - `vitest.e2e.config.mts` - Keep for E2E tests
+
+## Migration Checklist
+
+For each package:
+
+- [ ] Read current tsconfig.json and identify custom settings
+- [ ] Create new tsconfig.json that extends `../../.config/tsconfig.base.json`
+- [ ] Move custom compilerOptions (paths, typeRoots, etc.) to new config
+- [ ] Keep include/exclude patterns specific to the package
+- [ ] Test: Run `pnpm tsc` to verify type checking still works
+
+- [ ] Read current vitest.config.mts and identify custom settings
+- [ ] Create new vitest.config.mts that merges with base config
+- [ ] Move custom test settings (timeouts, includes, setupFiles) to new config
+- [ ] Test: Run `pnpm test` to verify tests still pass
+
+- [ ] Identify any package-specific eslint configs
+- [ ] If none exist, no action needed (root config applies)
+- [ ] If custom rules exist, evaluate if they should move to root or stay local
+
+- [ ] Update esbuild configs to use shared import.meta inject helper
+- [ ] Test: Run builds to verify output is correct
+
+- [ ] Remove duplicate configuration files
+- [ ] Update documentation if package has special config needs
+- [ ] Commit changes with descriptive message
+
+## Validation
+
+After migration, verify:
+
+1. **Type checking**: `pnpm tsc` passes
+2. **Linting**: `pnpm check:lint` passes
+3. **Tests**: `pnpm test` passes
+4. **Build**: `pnpm build` produces expected output
+5. **Coverage**: `pnpm run test:unit:coverage` works
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+If migration causes issues:
+
+1. Keep git history clean with one package per commit
+2. Revert individual package commits if needed
+3. Document any incompatibilities discovered
+4. Update base configs to accommodate edge cases
+
+## Benefits After Migration
+
+1. **Reduced Lines of Code**: 50-100+ lines removed per package
+2. **Single Source of Truth**: Update once, applies everywhere
+3. **Consistency**: All packages use same base settings
+4. **Easier Maintenance**: Less configuration to track
+5. **Better Defaults**: Proven settings with documented rationale
+
+## Questions or Issues?
+
+If you encounter problems during migration:
+
+1. Check `.config/README.md` for usage examples
+2. Compare with already-migrated packages
+3. Verify you're using mergeConfig for Vitest (not defineConfig alone)
+4. Ensure extends paths are correct (../../.config/...)
+5. Document any edge cases for future reference
