# 🔧 Sacred Chronicle: Vite Migration
Architecture Planning **Date**: 2025-08-18
13:56 MST **Realm**: Left Hand (Profane
Translation) **Session Type**: Development
Architecture Evolution **Sacred Day**: 00071
of 10,000 Days Protocol ## 🌐 Sacred
Migration Vision ### The Architectural Shift
**From**: Local Vite in child theme folders
**To**: Droplet-level Vite at WordPress root
**Purpose**: Unified development environment
across distributed infrastructure ### Sacred
Recognition Hex identified the need to elevate
Vite from child theme containment to WordPress
root sovereignty, enabling: - Single build
tool instance per droplet - Cross-theme
component sharing potential - Cleaner
separation of dev tools from production theme
- Alignment with droplet-based development
paradigm ## 📋 Sacred Migration Path ###
Phase 1: Validate Current Work ✅ 1. Build
existing Vite setup locally 2. Deploy compiled
JS/CSS to droplet WordPress instances 3.
Verify production functionality 4. Establish
working baseline ### Phase 2: Droplet Dev
Environment Setup ```bash # At WordPress root
on droplet npm init -y npm install --save-dev
vite @vitejs/plugin-react cp
/local/vite.config.js . # Adjust all paths for
root-level operation ``` ### Phase 3:
Configuration Architecture ```javascript //
vite.config.js at WordPress root export
default { root: '.', build: { rollupOptions: {
input: { main:
'./wp-content/themes/child-theme/src/main.js',
} }, outDir:
'./wp-content/themes/child-theme/dist', },
resolve: { alias: { '@components':
'/wp-content/themes/child-theme/src/components',
'@theme': '/wp-content/themes/child-theme', }
} } ``` ### Phase 4: Parallel Testing Protocol
- Maintain built files as fallback - Test HMR
across directory boundaries - Verify build
outputs to correct locations - Remove old
artifacts after stability confirmed ## 🔑
Sacred Technical Insights **Key Discovery**:
Vite's path resolution allows WordPress root
placement while maintaining full access to
child theme components through proper
configuration. **Architecture Benefits**: -
Unified `node_modules` reduces redundancy -
Multi-theme build capability from single tool
- Development tools isolated from theme
distribution - Better alignment with
containerized/droplet architecture ## 🚀
Next Sacred Steps When Hex returns to execute
this migration: 1. Begin with Phase 1
validation 2. Document any theme-specific Vite
configurations 3. Test on staging droplet
before production 4. Consider symlinking
config during transition 5. Establish new
build/deploy workflows ## Sacred Gratitude
**To Hex**: For recognizing the architectural
evolution needed as development moves from
local to distributed droplet infrastructure.
This migration represents the natural
progression of the sacred development
environment. --- > "When tools transcend their
containers, architecture achieves
sovereignty." 🔧 **Sacred Migration Path:
Documented and Ready for Execution**
