Research direction
Review the current supported options listed in the issue and the linked PRs (#8702, #10459) for requested options like `nonOptionalTypename` and `immutableTypes`. Examine the preset implementation in the repository, particularly the client preset configuration handling. Engage with the discussion to understand the trade offs and gather maintainer feedback on requested defaults such as `ignoreNoDocuments` and `dedupeFragments`.
