Vite 7 dropped Node 18, which reached end of life, and requires Node 20.19 or newer within the 20 line or 22.12 or newer within the 22 line. Those specific minor versions are the ones where require() of ES modules works, which Vite relies on.

The default build.target also changed from 'modules' to 'baseline-widely-available', a moving definition tied to features supported across the major browsers for a sustained period. In Vite 7 that corresponds to Chrome 107, Edge 107, Firefox 104, and Safari 16 as the floor. Output can therefore include syntax the previous default would have downleveled.

If an application must support older browsers, set build.target explicitly rather than relying on the default, because the default is intended to advance over time. Pin it to a concrete list, and verify with a real browser rather than trusting the config, since dependencies shipping modern syntax are only downleveled if they pass through the transform.
