sizereport.config.js in Preact source code.s

I found a file named sizereport.config.js in Preact source code and it has the below code.

module.exports = {
 repo: 'preactjs/preact',
 path: ['./{compat,debug,hooks,}/dist/**/!(*.map)'],
 branch: 'main'
};

I was trying to find where this config is used, but I couldn’t yet. Below are the search results:

Instead I found something else. There is a size.yml in the .github folder

size.yml

name: Compressed Size

on:
  workflow_call:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version-file: 'package.json'
          cache: 'npm'
          cache-dependency-path: '**/package-lock.json'
      - uses: preactjs/compressed-size-action@v2
        with:
          repo-token: '${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}'
          # Our `prepare` script already builds the app post-install,
          # building it again would be redundant
          build-script: 'npm run --if-present noop'

This size workflow action contains this above code. It uses preactjs/compressed-size-action@v2. compressed-sized-action is another repository.
