# X_PACKAGE_UNREFERENCED

## Means

a published workspace is not in the root tsconfig build graph

## Typical cause

`bun run typecheck` is `tsc -b`, which builds referenced projects and nothing else — so a package no root `references` entry names compiles nowhere and the gate's `typecheck` step reports green over it. `scripts/new-package.ts` never added the entry and nothing asked for it. Private packages are exempt, and a root that declares no `references` at all is a repo that builds another way

## Fix

the `fix` is the edit: add `{ "path": "./packages/<pkg>" }` to `"references"` in `tsconfig.json`, then `bunx tsc -b --pretty false`
