## Common workflows

### Development

```bash
ltbridge build -w
```

Runs the watcher. Edit your Lua, save, and LTBridge rebuilds when modules or config change. Unchanged work is skipped for the current watch session (fingerprint stays in memory only).

### One-off build

```bash
ltbridge build
```

Use before deploying or when you don't need the watcher. Always rebuilds.

### Add a whole category

```bash
ltbridge add Framework/*
ltbridge add Target/*
```

### Debug a dependency

```bash
ltbridge why Framework/GetPlayer
```

Shows the dependency chain that pulled a module into your build.
