Parcel Build Configurator

Creates a build helper that runs the bundler with explicit toggles for caching, config selection, source map output, and automatic dependency installation.

Capabilities

Cache control

• Turns off the build cache when requested so no cached artifacts are reused. @test
• Uses a caller-provided cache directory instead of the default location. @test

Config selection

• Applies a supplied config file path instead of falling back to project defaults. @test

Source map toggle

• Skips emitting source maps when source maps are disabled. @test

Auto-install toggle

• Prevents automatic dependency installation when auto-install is disabled. @test
