Description

vinext init installs vite and @vitejs/plugin-rsc as devDependencies, but does not install the vinext package itself. The generated vite.config.ts imports from "vinext", so the dev server immediately fails with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND.

Steps to Reproduce

mkdir test && cd test
npx create-next-app@latest my-app --yes
cd my-app
npx vinext init
npx vinext dev

Expected Behavior

vinext init should add vinext to the project's dependencies (or devDependencies) so that the generated vite.config.ts can resolve its import.

Actual Behavior

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'vinext' imported from
  .vite-temp/vite.config.ts.timestamp-....mjs

The user must manually run npm install vinext before the dev server will start.

Environment

vinext: 0.0.2
Node: v24.3.0
npm: 11.4.2
create-next-app: latest (as of 2026-02-24)
