[Docs]: Reload on change (web side) seems undocumented

[NetLancer]

Summary and description

Strange enough, my installation (win 10 wsl) of Cedar does not trigger refresh on page file editing (actual changes), and i struggled a bit to find a solution, chatGPT helped. Perhaps i've missed something in docs/tutorials, but i just want to paste it here for (at least) my own reference:

...

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [cedar()],
  server: {
    host: true,
    port: 8910,
    watch: {
      usePolling: true,
      interval: 100,
    },
  },
})

should't that be a default behaviour in dev mode..?

Are you interested in working on this?

Cedar is using Vite under the hood, and Vite should definitely be refreshing your page automatically. In fact, it shouldn't just be refreshing, it should surgically just replace the parts of the page that has changed, without doing a full reload (aka HMR). Polling should really be a last resource.

Might be worth it to reach out to the Vite crew and see if they have any ideas about why HMR isn't working for you.

Since nobody else's complain on this, probably this is my machine/setup only issue. I'll go ask vite guys. Appreciate it
