-### Source Files

-The only source file is `src/LaBelleAurore.vfb`, a FontLab binary format file. No `.glyphs`, `.ufo`, `.designspace`, or `.sfd` files were found. VFB files are not supported by gftools-builder.

### Build Configuration
No `config.yaml` exists in the upstream repository, and none is needed since the VFB source format is not compatible with gftools-builder.
The current font file (`LaBelleAurore.ttf`, 59364 bytes, SHA256: `ed67462999e05f0cdac92f686374661e4d68c56fdcd7d05725c6df7b41eabd2a`) matches the version from the fsType fix commit (8ccda7bf7). The font has not been rebuilt from source since; the fsType fix was a binary patch to correct embedding permissions.
-Note: Commit 76adaf1d2 ("deploy: c7e2740...") from 2021-11-01 appeared to delete the file, but this commit exists only on an abandoned deployment branch and is not part of the main branch history.
-
No override `config.yaml` exists in the `ofl/labelleaurore/` directory of google/fonts.
