Incremental TypeScript Builds for Faster Compilation

Incremental compilation is a TypeScript build mode designed to speed up development by avoiding full project rebuilds on every compile.

Instead, the compiler tracks which files have changed since the previous build and recompiles only those files and their affected dependencies.

To support this, TypeScript stores build metadata in a .tsbuildinfo file, or in a custom file defined by the tsBuildInfoFile option. Reusing this information dramatically reduces rebuild times and can improve CI/CD performance when the build info file is cached between runs.
