Poem

🐰 Whiskers up, I hopped to say,
A gentle note to guard your day,
Flush the files when commits are done,
So sleepy crashes spoil no fun,
—a rabbit's hop, a cautionary pun.

80-82: Consider fixing the naming inconsistency.

Line 80 uses "LightningFS" (PascalCase) while line 82 uses "lightning-fs" (lowercase with hyphen). For consistency, consider using the same casing throughout.

📝 Suggested fix
-⚠️ lightning-fs may apply file operations out of order, which can lead to repository corruption if the process crashes. You can mitigate this by calling `fs.flush()` after Git operations.

80-80: Tiny wording polish on Line 80.

Consider changing “The easiest to setup” to “The easiest to set up” for grammar/readability.
