The dev proxy

Vite sends three paths to ferryd. Thus the browser gets the app and the API from one origin.

The browser asks Vite for the app. Vite answers from web/src.

Where each request goes

`/api`, `/hooks`, `/healthz`	`FERRY_API_URL`. The default is `http://127.0.0.1:7878`.
Each other path	The app, from Vite

The host. The proxy sends the host that the browser used in the header X-Forwarded-Host. ferryd compares it with the Origin of each request that has the session cookie.
The streams. Server-Sent Events pass through the proxy with no buffer and no compression. The log streams and the change feed use them.

npm run preview uses the same proxy on port 4173.

Design tokens

The colors, the radii and the fonts are in one CSS file. The dashboard and the docs site read it.

How the dashboard gets into ferryd

The build script of ferry-api puts each file of web/dist into the ferryd binary.
