Auto-install issues about iles HOT 2 OPEN

Hi, thanks for reporting!

It's likely that this problem doesn't have a good solution, other than to end the process and ask the user to start it again.

Node.js doesn't provide a way to clear the cache for ESM modules (as it did for commonjs), so after installing a package we might need to throw an error mentioning "this package was installed, please restart the server".

After initial scaffolding (without non-Vue frameworks), activating one of those non-Vue frameworks is a one-off activity for the user, I feel the auto-install feature, if it requires maintenance against these sort of issues, might not be worth it.

If the error can't be avoided, then instead of adding an additional message to restart the server, IMHO, it might be better to add documentation to add the relevant vite plugin.

A nice alternative is to consider the astro way, for eg, npx iles add solid. This way could abstract the scripty vite plugin names (and any additional dependencies/config) behind the non-Vue frameworks, maintaining iles joyful experience ;-)
