React transformation tool clarity

When working with React in Vite projects, be precise about which transformation tools (Babel, SWC, Oxc, esbuild) handle specific aspects of React code processing. Different plugins use different tool combinations for JSX/TSX transformation versus React fast-refresh, and these can vary between development and build environments.

For example, when documenting or selecting a React plugin:

// Document precisely which tools handle which transformations
// @vitejs/plugin-react (without plugins)
//   - dev: Babel (fast-refresh) + esbuild/Oxc (JSX)
//   - build: esbuild/Oxc (JSX)

// @vitejs/plugin-react-swc (without plugins)
//   - dev: SWC (fast-refresh + JSX)
//   - build: esbuild/Oxc (JSX)

// @vitejs/plugin-react-oxc
//   - dev: Oxc (fast-refresh + JSX)
//   - build: Oxc (JSX)

This distinction is particularly important when migrating between plugins or when performance optimization is needed. Always verify compatibility with your project’s requirements, especially when using custom Babel or SWC configurations.
