Hot reload: ship the dev ergonomics (follow-up to #132) #158

Description

@schloerke

examples/ui-tsx/09-hmr/ proves React Fast Refresh for the ui.tsx pattern with no backend change (a Vite dev server alongside Shiny; the dev stub swaps www/app.js). Two follow-ups remain:

  • Dev shinyreact bundle. Fast Refresh works today only because the example bundles its own dev React — window.shinyreact.React is a production build (js/vite.config.ts pins NODE_ENV=production) and can't drive react-refresh. A shinyreact.dev.js (React dev + refresh) would let the page share one dev React, but loading it needs a backend dev switch (the bundle is injected by the page dependency).
  • A shipped dev helper / CLI so authors don't hand-copy the vite.config stub plugin + shiny-bridge indirection.

Follow-up to #132.
