The svelte-motoko-starter and sveltekit-starter examples used the legacy dfx toolchain. A modern Svelte 5 + Vite frontend has been added to the icp-cli-templates hello-world template (dfinity/icp-cli-templates#35), which supersedes these examples.

Plain Svelte + Vite was chosen over SvelteKit — consistent with how React (vite-plugin-react) and Vue (vite-plugin-vue) are implemented: static single-page apps with no SSR. SvelteKit would need
