The files in this folder are patches for packages we depend on within the repo. The patches are created using pnpm patch, and pnpm applies the patches automatically when running install.
Each patch is described here, along with any relevant links to issues or PRs and any additional relevant details.
We have patched our dependency on @microsoft/api-extractor in order to ensure we can validate release tag compatibility across package boundaries.
