How this works is closely related to where the type definition files are generated during publication, and so will likely need to be solved in conjunction with that issue. +- **What should the final design for template-aware type checking be?** [Glint][glint] has a number of decisions which make good sense and indeed are necessary for template-aware type checking given both the design constraints of the Octane era and its own experimental status.
