If this issue only occurs in one browser, which browser is a problem?

Describe the Bug

A newly created Astro project fails to start with the default generated configuration. Running pnpm run dev immediately exits during config validation with:

[config] Astro found issue(s) with your configuration:

! integrations: Required

The project was generated by the Astro CLI and the config file contains the default config:

export default defineConfig({});

No integrations were added or modified manually. The dev server only starts after explicitly adding an empty integrations array:

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [],
});

What's the expected result?

A fresh Astro CLI project should run with the generated default config, or Astro should treat missing integrations as equivalent to an empty array.
