What Is the .arts Directory in a Project Used For?

The .arts directory is a project-level configuration directory used to store configuration files closely related to the current project (for example, settings.json for project settings and launch.json for debugging configurations). These configurations apply only to the current project and do not affect the global settings of CodeArts Agent. In this way, configurations are isolated between projects. For example, when you run or debug a project in CodeArts Agent IDE (as shown in Figure 1), the system automatically generates a .arts directory and creates a launch.json file in the directory to store debugging configurations.
