+## Configuration files
+
+`chrome_lock.yaml` contains the version of Chrome we use to test Flutter for
+web. Chrome is not automatically updated whenever a new release is available.
+Instead, we update this file manually once in a while.
+
+`goldens_lock.yaml` refers to a revision in the https://github.com/flutter/goldens
+repo. Screenshot tests are compared with the golden files at that revision.
+When making engine changes that affect screenshots, first submit a PR to
+flutter/goldens updating the screenshots. Then update this file pointing to
+the new revision.
