Description

There don't seem to be any docs with instructions for overriding config presets. frontend-build has instructions but those fail for frontend-base ("export" errors).

There seem to be many ongoing migration tasks and it would be much easier for some newcomers to help out if there were instructions for overriding certain dev values, like webpack-dev-server.

Research direction

Start by comparing the frontend-build README's "Extending or overriding config presets" instructions with frontend-base, focusing on the export errors and webpack-dev-server values. Document working frontend-base override instructions and verify that the examples address the reported migration needs.
