+
+The `sortKey` field is optional for hash-key-only GSIs.
+
+This config file is the single source of truth read by all consumers:
+- **Local development** — `dev` reads `config.json` and creates or updates the local table to match the GSI list
+- **CDK** — the construct reads `config.json` at synth time, so GSI changes are reflected on the next `cdk deploy`
+- **Terraform** — the module reads `config.json` at plan/apply time
+
+### One GSI per Deployment
+
+:::caution
+DynamoDB [does not allow more than one GSI to be created or deleted in a single table update](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/GSI.OnlineOps.html).
+
+Each deployment can add or remove **at most one GSI**. If you need to add or remove multiple GSIs, do so one at a time — update `config.json` and relevant entity classes, deploy the stack, then repeat for the next change.

+Stopping `dev` (e.g. with `Ctrl+C`) automatically removes the DynamoDB Local container, but preserves the named volume so your data persists across restarts.
+
+:::caution[Windows]
+Due to limitations with signal handling on Windows, the container is not automatically removed when `dev` is stopped. You will need to remove it manually:
+
+```bash
+<engine> rm -f <scope>-dynamodb

+
+Replace `<engine>` with your container engine (`docker` or `finch`) and `<scope>` with your Nx workspace scope (e.g. `proj`).
