No response

Describe the Bug

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a new project with minimal template (Path: D:\dev\astro-demo)

  2. Edit src/pages/index.astro, insert some style at bottom:

    <style>h1 { color: orange; }</style>

  3. Open a terminal and change path to d:\dev\astro-demo (note here)

  4. Run npm run dev and see in browser

What's the expected result?

h1 should be orange, but not. Then change path to case correct path, it becomes normal.

Research direction
Investigate how Astro resolves file paths during development, particularly on Windows. The bug is triggered by a case mismatch in the working directory path. Check the Vite dev server configuration and style loading logic. The provided Stackblitz example should be reproduced locally.
