Key Evidence

• Issue is about deploying SPAs to subpaths (e.g., /auth/*) with Vite plugin
• The assets.directory in generated wrangler config does not align with Vite's base setting
• Maintainer @jamesopstad acknowledged this is a valid issue and reopened #9567
• Community workaround exists using a custom Vite plugin to override assets.directory
• Recent activity (Jan 2026) shows users still experiencing this issue

Recommendation

Status: KEEP OPEN

Reasoning: This is a confirmed feature gap in the Vite plugin. The maintainer has acknowledged the issue and kept it open for a proper solution. Multiple users are affected and using workarounds.

Action: Continue tracking for a proper fix in vite-plugin. The workaround (custom Vite plugin to override assets.directory) can be documented in the interim.
