PROTO

Descriptor/reflection configuration for method and type resolution.

By default the schema comes from the server's own reflection. Add a PROTO section only when you want to resolve methods and types from local files instead — when reflection is disabled on the server, or you need a schema source that's fixed and reproducible in CI.

When to use

• The server has reflection turned off
• You want a deterministic schema source in CI
• You want go-to-definition in the editor (needs files + import_paths)

Keys

• descriptor: <path> — a pre-compiled descriptor set (.desc/.pb)
• files: <a.proto, b.proto> — .proto sources compiled on the fly
• import_paths: <dir, dir> — roots used to resolve imports for files

Examples

--- PROTO ---
descriptor: ./descriptors/api.desc

--- PROTO ---
files: greeter.proto
import_paths: ./proto

Rules

• Without a PROTO section, the schema is loaded via server reflection
• Use descriptor: or files: — not both in the same section
• A key set twice is a parse error (not last-wins)
