## Statements (checkable)
0. The TypeScript 6.0 announcement (opened 2026-11-04) says that previously tsc foo.ts in a folder with a tsconfig.json silently ignored the config file, and that in 6.0 this issues error TS5112: tsconfig.json is present but will not be loaded if files are specified on commandline. Use '--ignoreConfig' to skip this error.  [✓0 ✗0]
1. It says to use the new --ignoreConfig flag (tsc --ignoreConfig foo.ts) to compile the file with TypeScript's defaults. The TypeScript 7.0 announcement lists the same rule. Reproduced 2026-11-04 with typescript 6.0.3 and 7.0.2.  [✓0 ✗0]

## Fix
```text
Run tsc -p . (or tsc --noEmit) to use the tsconfig, or tsc --ignoreConfig file.ts to compile just that file with default options.
```

## Error signatures
- code: `TS5112` (TS 6.0 announcement)
- substring: `is present but will not be loaded if files are specified on commandline` (TS5112, diagnosticMessages.json v6.0.3)
