Research direction

Start with the README's Getting Started instructions and reproduce the failure with npm run start in the jsonforms-react-seed app. Inspect the Vite/Rollup dependency setup and installation steps around the reported missing @rollup/rollup-darwin-arm64 package; done means the documented setup starts successfully on the reported macOS environment.
