Follow-up to #3597. That PR fixed the install command in the CSS-optimizer hint; the sentence's second half still fails.

Reproduction (published 0.1.1232, sandbox outside the monorepo)

$ npm i veryfront@0.1.1232 && npx veryfront init myapp --template minimal --runtime node
$ ls -a myapp
.gitignore  AGENTS.md  README.md  app  package.json  public  tsconfig.json
$ cd myapp && npm i && npm run build
  ! Veryfront emits unminified CSS because no CSS optimizer is active. Install one with:
    npm install @veryfront/ext-css-lightning, then add it to "extensions" in veryfront.config.ts

There is no veryfront.config.ts. The hint names a file the scaffold does not create — the exact defect #3597 set out to fix, surviving in the second clause.

Following it then fails on the first natural attempt. The reader has to author the file, and its first line is the one line the hint never gives. The obvious guess:

import { defineConfig } from "veryfront/config";

is not an exported subpath — defineConfig is on the package root — so Node raises ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED:

  ! Failed to load config file
                       configFile=veryfront.config.ts
✗ [config-parse-error] Failed to parse configuration
  Detail: Failed to load veryfront.config.ts

(The loader swallowing that cause is a separate defect, fixed in its own PR.)

Change

src/extensions/setup-hint.ts now composes the whole remedy and inspects the project first:

No config file:

Install one with: npm install @veryfront/ext-css-lightning, then create veryfront.config.ts containing: import { defineConfig } from "veryfront"; import extCssLightning from "@veryfront/ext-css-lightning"; export default defineConfig({ extensions: [extCssLightning()] });

Config file present:

Install one with: npm install @veryfront/ext-css-lightning, then activate it in veryfront.config.ts: add import extCssLightning from "@veryfront/ext-css-lightning"; and list extCssLightning() in "extensions".

The create form is the whole file on one line, pasteable as-is. The existing form names the file the project actually keeps — the loader accepts .js, .ts and .mjs, so a hardcoded .ts would send a reader with veryfront.config.js to a second file the loader never reaches.

The local binding is the hint's to choose (every first-party extension exports its factory as the module default), so it is derived from the package name.

It lives beside install-command.ts, whose detector it reuses, rather than in the CSS pipeline that prints it: the same "installing it registers nothing" hole applies to every explicit-activation entry in recommendations.ts.

Tests

Red first. css-provider-session.test.ts — "shows the import line, so the config edit needs no guessing":

error: AssertionError: Values are not equal: hint must show the import line for the extension,
got: Veryfront emits unminified CSS because no CSS optimizer is active. Install one with:
deno add npm:@veryfront/ext-css-lightning, then add it to "extensions" in veryfront.config.ts
-   false
+   true

src/extensions/setup-hint.test.ts pins the create/edit branches, the .js/.ts filename, the absence of "veryfront/config", and binding derivation against explicit temp directories rather than the working directory.

End-to-end verification

Scratch npm project scaffolded by published 0.1.1232, built with this branch's CLI. Following the printed sentence literally and nothing else:

before:  110,606 bytes  dist/_vf/css/397cc85c….css   (warning printed)
after:    89,489 bytes  dist/_vf/css/0a452ee2….css   (no warning)

Also confirmed the edit branch fires when a veryfront.config.ts exists without the extension.

…in it

#3597 corrected the CSS-optimizer hint's install command but left its second
clause pointing at a file that does not exist. Verified against published
0.1.1232: `veryfront init --template minimal` writes package.json, app/,
public/, tsconfig.json and AGENTS.md -- no veryfront.config.ts. So

  ! ... Install one with: npm install @veryfront/ext-css-lightning, then add it
    to "extensions" in veryfront.config.ts

tells a reader to edit a file they do not have, which is the defect #3597 set
out to fix, surviving in the sentence's second half.

Following it also fails on the first natural attempt. The reader has to author
the file, and its first line is exactly the line the hint never gives. The
obvious guess, `import { defineConfig } from "veryfront/config"`, is not an
exported subpath -- `defineConfig` is on the package root -- so Node raises
ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED and the build stops at a bare "Failed to load
veryfront.config.ts".

So the hint now inspects the project and says one of two things:

  ..., then create veryfront.config.ts containing: import { defineConfig } from
  "veryfront"; import extCssLightning from "@veryfront/ext-css-lightning";
  export default defineConfig({ extensions: [extCssLightning()] });

  ..., then activate it in veryfront.config.ts: add import extCssLightning from
  "@veryfront/ext-css-lightning"; and list extCssLightning() in "extensions".

The create form is the whole file on one line, pasteable as-is. The existing
form names the file the project actually keeps: the loader accepts .js, .ts and
.mjs, so a hardcoded .ts would send a reader with veryfront.config.js to a
second file the loader never reaches.

The local binding is the hint's to choose -- every first-party extension exports
its factory as the module default -- so it is derived from the package name and
the reader can see which import belongs to which entry.

The logic lives in src/extensions/setup-hint.ts beside install-command.ts,
whose detector it reuses, rather than in the CSS pipeline that prints it: the
same "installing it registers nothing" hole applies to every explicit-activation
recommendation in recommendations.ts.

Verified end to end in a scratch npm project built from published 0.1.1232 and
built with this branch's CLI: following the printed sentence literally and
nothing else clears the warning and takes the stylesheet from 110,606 unminified
bytes to 89,489 minified.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds extension setup-hint generation, configuration-file discovery, import binding derivation, and complete installation instructions. CSS optimizer warnings now use these hints and include extension import and activation examples.

Changes

Extension setup guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Setup hint generation
src/extensions/setup-hint.ts, src/extensions/setup-hint.test.ts
Adds setup-hint options, valid default-import binding generation, configuration-file discovery, installation commands, and instructions for creating or updating configuration files. Tests cover supported config files, package prefixes, and installation targets.
CSS optimizer warning integration
src/html/styles-builder/tailwind-compiler.ts, src/html/styles-builder/css-provider-session.test.ts
Uses formatExtensionSetupHint for missing optimizer warnings. Tests verify the generated import and extension activation call.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to d85c2

The change improves CSS optimizer setup guidance and includes targeted coverage; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Comment thread src/extensions/setup-hint.test.ts
The loader accepts veryfront.config.js, .ts and .mjs; the suite only had a
.js fixture, so a lookup that stopped before the third entry would keep
passing while a project with veryfront.config.mjs was told to create a
second, shadowed veryfront.config.ts.
