Entire development server crashes after putting .md content into .mdx file

[Perspective2077]

how to recreate :
download new solidbase template from : "npm create solid@latest"
Project name : ./
what type of project : SolidStart
typescript : yes
template : solidbase

After this npm i
and start the server : npm run dev

after in the index.mdx just put
<br> in the end of the file
after that reload your development server and it gonna crash the whole server

i.e.

title: SolidBase
layout: home

hero:
  text: Static Site Generation for SolidStart
  tagline: Fully Featured, Fully Customisable
  actions:
    - text: Get Started!
      link: /about
    - theme: alt
      text: Docs
      link: https://solidbase.kobalte.dev
