📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updated AI setup compatibility to be framework-aware: supportsAISetupFeature now accepts a framework argument and explicitly disallows AI-assisted setup for REACT_NATIVE_WEB_VITE. Call site and tests updated; a small error-handling change replaces a .catch() chain with a try/catch in onboarding cache removal.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
FeatureCompatibilityService code/lib/create-storybook/src/services/FeatureCompatibilityService.ts	Signature changed to `supportsAISetupFeature(renderer, builder, framework: SupportedFramework
Call Site code/lib/create-storybook/src/initiate.ts	Updated call to FeatureCompatibilityService.supportsAISetupFeature to pass framework as third argument.
Tests code/lib/create-storybook/src/services/FeatureCompatibilityService.test.ts	Updated tests to include SupportedFramework argument; added negative cases for null and REACT_NATIVE_WEB_VITE.
Onboarding cache cleanup code/core/src/core-server/build-dev.ts	Replaced .catch(() => {}) on cache.remove('onboarding-pending') with try { await cache.remove(...); } catch {} for error suppression.

78-94: Add one explicit REACT + VITE + null assertion to lock nullable-framework semantics.

This makes intended behavior for unknown framework explicit and protects against regressions in future refactors.
