There might be a way to explicitly define it as generated, which (used to) exclude it from lint.

Where is this (generated) defined? - Give me a pointer and I will submit a revision!

Is this normally in a comment in the file itself?

Alternatively - any issues with adding this to .arclint

"exclude": [
        "/support/aphlict/server/package-lock.json"
    ]

I was thinking of ArcanistGeneratedLinter.php, but it looks like the only way to mark a file is by adding @generated in it, and I think we can't do that?
I thought there was another way, because this also applies to revisions (it folds the file by default).

Just excluding it from lint is also fine.

ahh, there's a global setting for revisions - differential.generated-paths.

D25012 solves it, but I wonder if we should just exclude it from the "type": "text" linters
