-  # I'm sure this is suboptimal but it seems to work. Points:
-  # - when build is run in the original repo, no specific executable seems to be generated; you run the resulting build with pnpm run start
-  # - this means we need to add a dedicated script - perhaps it is possible to create this from the workers-sdk dir, but I don't know how to do this
-  # - the build process builds a version of miniflare which is used by wrangler; for this reason, the miniflare package is copied also
-  # - pnpm stores all content in the top-level node_modules directory, but it is linked to from a node_modules directory inside wrangler
-  # - as they are linked via symlinks, the relative location of them on the filesystem should be maintained
-  # - Update: Now we're copying everything over due to broken symlink errors
