Idea: a webpack → Vite port step for apps init refuses #404
Description
5 self-hostable webpack apps were ported to Vite in a scratch experiment. All built and served in vite preview; 0-4 source lines changed each:
| app | from | source edits | config |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flame | Create React App | 0 | ~20 lines, renders in headless Chrome |
| AdGuard Home UI | custom webpack, 3 pages | 0 (+1 script tag per page) | ~25 lines |
| Yacht | Vue CLI 4, Vue 2 | 0 | ~50 lines, vue 2.6 → 2.7 |
| CyberChef | webpack + Grunt | 4 one-line deletions | 112 lines (loader shims, polyfills) |
| jellyfin-web | big custom webpack | 0 (+1 script tag) | 189 lines, 6 small plugins |
The mechanical part repeats: move index.html and add the module script, %PUBLIC_URL%/<%= BASE_URL %>, REACT_APP_*/VUE_APP_* → define via loadEnv, DefinePlugin → define, @ alias, .vue extensions, worker-loader! → ?worker, ~ in Sass imports, ProvidePlugin → inject. CRA and Vue CLI are near-zero effort; custom webpack loaders are where the config grows.
Pitfalls seen: a build that passes with require() left in the bundle (Yacht, fixed by commonjsOptions), dynamic imports with no extension that build but break navigation (Jellyfin), smart-TV/ES5 targets need plugin-legacy.
None was run against its backend or deployed. An init hint ("this is CRA / Vue CLI: here's a vite.config") would cover the easy cases.

Folded into #741, which bundles it with related work for one agent. The details here still apply.

Reopened, split back out of #741 so it can be worked on its own.
