Distillation

Date: July 28, 2026

• 🟡 (11:07) Tool output: astro 7.1.4 vite dependency range = ^8.0.13
• 🟡 (11:07) User asked what vite version was used pre-merge (suggested checking git stash / original)
• 🟡 (11:07) User suggested trying docs vite 6 override
• 🟡 (11:07) Tool output: docs/package.json line 24 shows current vite override = "7.2.4"
• 🟡 (11:07) Assistant: ROOT CAUSE refined — astro 7.1.4 depends on vite ^8.0.13; root override vite: ^7.3.5 DOWNGRADES astro's vite 8 → vite 7, incompatible with astro 7.1.4. Supersedes 11:06 hypothesis of vite 7.x SSR regression.
• 🟡 (11:07) Assistant: root vite: ^7.3.5 override exists for ROOT project security (form-data/vite CVE in root tooling), added by master branch.
• 🟡 (11:07) Assistant evaluated fix options: (1) root override >=7.3.5 — considered, concern it may not constrain root enough; (2) root override ^7.3.5 || ^8.0.0 — considered, lets root get 7.3.5 + astro get 8.x, both patched; (3) docs local override ^8.0.0 (or ^8.0.13) to override root's 7.x for docs subtree — CHOSEN (pnpm: most specific docs local override wins for docs subtree; root still uses 7.3.5).
• 🟡 (11:07) Assistant noted root craft build uses esbuild (build.mjs), not vite; root vite override may be purely transitive security. Open question: whether root has vite as direct dep (not yet checked).
• 🟡 (11:07) User provided confirmation: Edit applied successfully — docs vite override changed from 7.2.4 to ^8.0.0 (assistant also referenced ^8.0.13 as astro's required range).
