+- **feat(tanstackstart-react)!: Export Vite plugin from `@sentry/tanstackstart-react/vite` subpath ([#19182](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/pull/19182))**
+
+  The `sentryTanstackStart` Vite plugin is now exported from a dedicated subpath. Update your import:
+
+  ```diff
+  - import { sentryTanstackStart } from '@sentry/tanstackstart-react';
+  + import { sentryTanstackStart } from '@sentry/tanstackstart-react/vite';
+  ```
+
 - **feat(tanstackstart-react): Auto-instrument server function middleware ([#19001](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/pull/19001))**
 
   The `sentryTanstackStart` Vite plugin now automatically instruments middleware in `createServerFn().middleware([...])` calls. This captures performance data without requiring manual wrapping with `wrapMiddlewaresWithSentry()`.
