[vite] globalThis.__VITE_MANIFEST__ is undefined

This value is not getting set in production on the server. The workaround is to use a plugin like:

const manifestPlugin = (): Plugin => {
	let manifest = "{}";
	const id = "#vite-manifest";
	const resolvedId = `\0${id}`;
	return {
		name: "manifest",
		applyToEnvironment(e) {
			return e.name === "nitro"
		},
config() { return { manifest: true } },
		resolveId(possibleId) {
			if (possibleId === id) {
				return resolvedId
			}
		},
		load(id) {
			if (id === resolvedId) {
				return `export default ${manifest}`
			}
		},
		async buildStart(c) {
			manifest = await fs.readFile("./.output/public/.vite/manifest.json", "utf-8");
		},
	}
}

and importing the manifest from "#vite-manifest"

Start by reproducing the production server behavior described in the issue and tracing where the Vite manifest is expected to be exposed. Compare that path with the supplied plugin workaround. Done means globalThis.VITE_MANIFEST is defined in production without requiring the workaround.
