If you’ve built custom forms in SharePoint Framework, you already know the pain — a user submits a form with a blank required field, or types random text into an email field, and suddenly your web part breaks or saves garbage data to a SharePoint list.

If you’ve ever worked on an SPFx project with a team, you’ve probably hit this problem: your serve.json has your personal SharePoint URL hardcoded, your colleague has a different tenant, and every time someone pulls the latest code from Git, something breaks.
