 ### Build everything
 
+`@meshtastic/protobufs` has a `build` script that regenerates its stubs with `buf`, so skip it when building the rest of the workspace:
+
+```bash
+pnpm --filter '!@meshtastic/protobufs' -r build
+```

+### Regenerate protobuf stubs

+Only needed after bumping the `meshtastic/protobufs` submodule or editing the generator config. Requires the Buf CLI:

 ```bash
-pnpm -r build
+pnpm --filter @meshtastic/protobufs build
