## When to use --force-recompile

Almost never. Unity itself detects changed files — even when they were edited outside the
Editor, a plain `uloop compile` runs every recompilation the changes require. A forced full
recompile can freeze the Editor for a long time on large projects, and with
`--wait-for-domain-reload true` the response crosses a Domain Reload so `Success` comes back
as `null`, making it useless as a verification step. The only legitimate use: surfacing
warnings hidden by other asmdefs with a full build.
