Support extends in overrides

[unional]

Currently, extends can only be defined at top level.
This does not allow rules to be reused in overrides, specifically in monorepo.

For example:

{
  "extends": ["./node_modules/@repobuddy/biome/recommended.json"],
  "files": { ... },
  "overrides": [
    {
      "include": ["packages/low-level/src"],
      "extends": ["./node_modules/@repobuddy/biome/performant.json"]
    }
  ]
}

Can't you write the override in the configuration you're extending?

[unional]

Cannot do that because the override include is repository specific, while the configuration is not.

The configuration can be used in any repositories.

I'm trying to do it a different way but it is also not working:

// biome.json
{
  "extends": [".biome/default.json", ".biome/performant.json"]
}

// .biome/default.json
{
  "extends": ["@repobuddy/biome/recommended.json"],
  "files": { /* ... the usual ... */ }
}

// .biome/performant.json
{
  "extends": ["@repobuddy/biome/performant.json"],
  "files": { "includes": ["packages/low-level/src"] }
}

It seems like the files in the extends config is not being honored.
If we can support that and it is easier to do, this can be used as a workaround.

Did we ever get support for this, or no?

This is not planned. We are reluctant to make configuration more complex than it already is. If the community shows interest in this feature, we may re-evaluate our position.
