If this issue only occurs in one browser, which browser is a problem?

No response

Describe the Bug

HMR does not work on Astro 3.0.7 when editing .md files in the pages directory. Astro does recognise the change, as it shows [astro] reload /src/pages/markdown.md whenever i save, but the browser does not refresh unlike the .astro files. In the Minimal reproducible example, navigate to the markdown page and try to edit it.

What's the expected result?

The browser should refresh with the current content

Did you try with the markdown file in /content, as part of content collections?

[davidbernegger]

Yeah, this works, but putting .md in the pages directory is supported according to the official documentation, changed the description to make it more specific.

Looks like it's happening since 3.0.0-beta.2, works in beta.0 (beta.1 has a faulty dep)

The issue seems to be that the Vite client script to handle HMR is missing in the HTML.
