Subject: [PATCH] vite: bind the dev server to 127.0.0.1, where the app's
 WebView looks
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Vite 6 on modern Node binds [::1] alone when no host is set, while WebView2
resolves the devUrl's "localhost" to IPv4 — the window opens on
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED while curl and every browser say the server is fine.
