Hi everyone, I need some help understanding how local multiplatform libraries are built when we build our project.

Our current set-up is:

• We have a multiplatform library that we develop internally, which has targets for JVM and JS.
• We have a server project that uses the library mentioned above and is developed using Kotlin/JVM.
• We have a web app that also uses the library mentioned above and is developed using Kotlin/JS.
When we build the web app using `./gradlew build`  the `kotlin-js-store/yarn.lock`  file is created, which makes sense.

However, when we build the server using `./gradlew build` then the `kotlin-js-store/yarn.lock`  file is also created, even though the server code is 100% Kotlin/JVM.

My assumption is that the JS part of the multiplatform library is being built when we build the server, but shouldn't that be skipped autoamtically?

My questions are:

1. Is the assumption above correct? Or is there something I'm missing?
2. Should we keep building the server using `./gradlew build`  or should we use a different Gradle task for this that doesn't build the JS code in the multiplatform library?
Thanks for the help!
