Titanium SDK project configuration for native toolchain versioning

Native Toolchain Integration
Appcelerator Titanium relies on a bridge layer to map JavaScript API calls to native platform implementations. The build process utilizes platform-specific toolchains, such as Xcode for iOS and Gradle for Android, to compile these binaries based on the settings defined in ti.app and ti.app-config.
When integrating custom native modules, there is a potential conflict between the SDK's automated project generation and the specific version requirements of the native toolchain. Because the Titanium CLI may overwrite direct modifications made within the native project files during subsequent builds, maintaining consistent environment constraints across a development team is critical.
What is the recommended method for locking the native toolchain version within the project configuration to prevent build failures caused by SDK version mismatches? Can these constraints be enforced globally via ti.app-config to ensure parity across different build environments?
