-/**
- * Configure a safelist of path patterns that can be redirected to `/` despite
- * having a dot in them.
- *
- * Vite does not rewrite paths with dots in them to serve `/index.html`, likely
- * because it wants to assume they are static files that should be served
- * directly. See https://github.com/vitejs/vite/issues/2415.
- *
- * We have a few non-file console paths that we expect to contain a dot. Names
- * cannot contain dots, but semver versions always will. So we safelist some
- * paths that we expect to have dots so they will work in the dev server.
- *
- * If a path needs to be added to this safelist, it will show up as a blank page
- * in local dev and the Vite `--debug` output will say:
- *
- * "Not rewriting GET /has.dot because the path includes a dot (.) character."
