# X_CONFIG_IMPORT_OUTSIDE_LOADER

## Means

a file other than `packages/cli/src/app-config-load.ts` imports an app's `app.config.ts`

## Typical cause

a second reader of the config module, with its own defaults and trust policy, beside the one loader

## Fix

read the section off `loadAppConfig(root)` from `app-config-load.ts`; a tier-forced exemption is a row in `CONFIG_IMPORT_EXEMPT` (`scripts/lib/config-import.ts`) with its reason
