+/**
+ * @description
+ * A custom Vite plugin that transforms Lingui macros in files using Babel instead of SWC.
+ *
+ * This plugin solves a critical compatibility issue with SWC plugins:
+ * - SWC plugins are compiled Wasm binaries that require exact version matching with `@swc/core`
+ * - When users have different SWC versions in their projects (e.g., from Next.js, Nx, etc.),
+ *   the Lingui SWC plugin fails with "failed to invoke plugin" errors
+ * - Babel has no such binary compatibility issues, making it much more reliable for library code
+ *
+ * The plugin runs BEFORE `@vitejs/plugin-react` and transforms files containing Lingui macros
+ * (imports from `@lingui/core/macro` or `@lingui/react/macro`) using the Babel-based
+ * `@lingui/babel-plugin-lingui-macro`.
+ *
+ * Files processed:
+ * - `@vendure/dashboard/src` files (in node_modules for external projects)
+ * - `packages/dashboard/src` files (in monorepo development)
+ * - User's dashboard extension files (e.g., custom plugins using Lingui)
+ *
+ * Files NOT processed:
+ * - Other node_modules packages (they shouldn't contain Lingui macros)
+ *
+ * @see https://github.com/vendurehq/vendure/issues/3929
+ * @see https://github.com/lingui/swc-plugin/issues/179
