feedBack-desktop/scripts/parse-build-config.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Parse `.build-config.json` and emit a value (or the whole doc).

Usage:
  parse-build-config.py <path>                # pretty-print the whole document
  parse-build-config.py <path> .versions.node # print a single value

Keys are dot-delimited, e.g. `.external.rs2014net.commit`. Plain JSON
only — if a future config needs comments, add a proper JSONC parser
(naive regex-based `//` stripping breaks on URLs like `https://...`).
