+/**
+ * A change is observed on MacOS since 13.5, where the build generates a large amount
+ * of JSON file that spotlight search has to index, as they are considered new files.
+ *
+ * Starting the vitejs dev server reads all of these files and this triggers the indexing.
+ * The indexing has a side effect of changing some file metadata (can be checked with `mdls <path_to_file>`).
+ * This metadata change is changing the ctime of the file, but not the mtime. This can be checked with `stat -x <path_to_file>
+ *
+ * Essentially only metadata is changed, not content. This should not cause a page refresh,
+ * but chokidar reports this change and vite refreshes the page.
+ * The indexing is running with a 10 second interval, so for roughtly 20 minutes vite is refreshing the page every 10 seconds
+ *
+ * This plugin checks if the file causing the refresh is a generated json file (dist/*.json) and if ctime is changed after mtime
+ * In that case, returing an empty array tells vitejs that a custom update will be made by the plugin,
+ * which is in effect ignoring the page refresh.
