Summary

Rebrand Vite DevTools as an extensible framework for the Vite ecosystem. The framework provides shared infrastructure (dock system, type-safe RPC, state management) that enables multiple integrations to compose together with a unified, consistent experience.

Key changes:

  • Update frontpage hero and features to emphasize framework positioning
  • Expand "What is Vite DevTools?" with clearer value proposition and ecosystem showcase (Nuxt DevTools v4, Oxc Inspector, UnoCSS Inspector, vite-plugin-vue-tracer)
  • Move DevTools for Rolldown documentation to dedicated docs/rolldown/ folder with dedicated intro page
  • Fix Oxc Inspector GitHub URL (yuyinws/oxc-inspector)
  • Move Vite 8 version requirement from framework-level to DevTools for Rolldown only
  • Establish consistent naming across docs: "Vite DevTools" (framework), "Vite DevTools Kit", "DevTools for Rolldown", "DevTools for Vite"

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Rebrand Vite DevTools as an extensible framework for the Vite ecosystem rather than a single tool. This includes:

- Update hero tagline and features on frontpage to emphasize framework nature
- Expand "What is Vite DevTools?" to explain value proposition: shared infrastructure (dock, RPC, state), composability, and ecosystem integration
- Add Ecosystem section highlighting tools built with Vite DevTools Kit: Nuxt DevTools v4, Oxc Inspector, UnoCSS Inspector, vite-plugin-vue-tracer
- Move DevTools for Rolldown content to dedicated docs/rolldown/ folder with introduction and features pages
- Fix Oxc Inspector URL (yuyinws not nicepkg)
- Move Vite 8 warning from top-level guide to Rolldown section only (framework not version-limited)
- Clarify naming: "Vite DevTools" (framework), "Vite DevTools Kit", "DevTools for Rolldown", "DevTools for Vite" (in dev)
- Update sidebar navigation to reflect new structure
