If you edit vite.config.js and introduce a syntax error, the dev server crashes.
git clone git@github.com:Rich-Harris/vite-dev-server-crashes
cd vite-dev-server-crashes
npm i
npm run dev
Then, in a separate terminal tab:
npm run break
The syntax error is reported, but the process stays alive and gracefully recovers once the error is fixed.
Ideally this would be the case for anything that errors on startup.
