I am encouraged by the contributor guide to ping regarding https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/18417, it is preparatory work for https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/16959, but intend only minor functional changes

@worried-painter-31382 Thanks for the changes here! If you’re looking at improving our JS support, I’d also encourage you to look at https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/14492 — currently

system_binary

makes use of a hard-coded list of search paths, which makes it hard to use the

system_binary

and

adhoc_tool

targets to use

node

binaries that are installed in weird locations.

Thanks! While I understand the issue, my current focus is to try and bring javascript language support, so

adhoc_tool

focused tasks I think I'll politely bow out of in favor of tasks that are discussed here https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/discussions/17357 which continues on from https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/18326.

OK, good luck!
