+            //     are emitted (URLs fetched at runtime instead of inlined). For
+            //     NativeScript, the existing CSS pipeline expects inlined styles;
+            //     `ns-component-hmr-style-overrides` (below) restores the
+            //     pre-HMR style-emission strategy so Tailwind/global SCSS
+            //     packaging keeps working.
+            //   - The runtime dynamic-import resolves the metadata URL relative
+            //     to `import.meta.url`, e.g. `http://host:port/ns/m/<componentDir>/@ng/component?c=...`.
+            //     Analog's middleware uses `req.url.includes('/@ng/component')`
+            //     (substring match), so the request still matches even with the
+            //     `/ns/m/` prefix in the path.
+            //   - The NS HMR client (`packages/vite/hmr/client/index.ts`)
+            //     forwards Vite's standard `{ type: 'custom', event, data }`
+            //     payloads to `import.meta.hot.on` listeners via
+            //     `__NS_DISPATCH_HOT_EVENT__`, and short-circuits before the
+            //     reboot path for `angular:component-update`.
+            //   - The NS server-side hot-update handler in
