Think of `vite.config.js` as a dynamic script, not a static settings file. By exporting a function, you can programmatically change your build based on context, like the `serve` or `build` command. This is key for managing plugins, server options, and output targets. The main footgun is assuming `.env` variables are available during config evaluation; they are loaded *after* the config is resolved and will be undefined at that stage.
