Add view transitions with astro-vtbot's starlight plugin

[martrapp]

feat: add astro-vtbot dependency and global styles for view transitions

• Added "astro-vtbot" as a development dependency in package.json.
• Introduced global styles for view transitions in global-style.css, enhancing the visual experience for site logos.

=> Temporarily copied webmanifest.json to manifest.webmanifest to stop loading errors.

Hi, thanks for helping! Are you being able to see the transitions? I'm still getting Uncaught (in promise) AbortError: Transition was skipped, or do I still need to set something up?

[martrapp]

yes, it all worked fine, but I had the advantage to start from a clean slate.
I just did a fresh checkout to re-validate.
Clearing service worker state is not trivial. Maybe you should try with another browser or incognito mode?

Do you know a trick how I can reproduce the errors you see?

[Alynva]

I'll go back and check it again later today, cleaning the SW (or just using another port)

@martrapp I just tested again and the transitions works now...

But some Starlight UI elements broke (side bar navigation, bottom "next/prev" article)

Oh, this looks really broken. It is not just the nav and links, the transitions are pretty broken too. It looks better on my site, see below.

I tried deploying the built repo to Cloudflare, but there are too many files. Is there an easy way to make the site smaller for a demo (under 1,000 files)?

Yeah, those are thumbnails in the .cache folder
