Vite Build Tool

Root vite.config.ts enables @vitejs/plugin-react and @tailwindcss/vite. Dev server binds port 1420 with strictPort: true. tauri.conf.json points devUrl there for npm run tauri dev. The watch config ignores the src-tauri tree so Rust rebuild noise does not restart the frontend dev server.

Production path: beforeBuildCommand runs npm run build, which is tsc then vite build. Output lands in repo-root dist/, referenced as frontendDist in Tauri config. Tauri packages that folder into the NSIS/MSI installer.

Optional TAURI_DEV_HOST enables HMR over LAN (protocol ws on port 1421). Chunk size warnings above ~500 kB are a known heads-up, not a release blocker.

The marketing site in website/ is a separate Astro project with its own Vite instance (astro.config.mjs). Only the root Vite build feeds the desktop bundle.
