  "what": "The default build tool for React apps outside Next.js. Vite 8 replaced the old esbuild-plus-Rollup pair with <b>Rolldown</b>, a single Rust bundler, plus the Oxc compiler — Vite reports 10-30x faster production builds. Ships a dev server with instant HMR and a new Vite DevTools panel.",
  "why": "Every shadcn, Lovable and Bolt React scaffold is a Vite project — you already have it. Knowing <code>vite.config.ts</code> is how you add path aliases, proxies and env vars instead of fighting mystery build errors.",
  "warn": "Vite 8 needs Node 20.19+ or 22.12+. The Rolldown swap is mostly transparent, but custom Rollup plugins and esbuild-specific options may need the migration guide.",
