Files five items.

A css ?url asset referenced only from server-rendered markup is never emitted in a linked SSR build, so the page requests a file the build did not write. Relative <link rel=icon|apple-touch-icon|manifest> assets are base64-inlined, which Vite HTML pipeline skips for those rels. The rest document $global.cspNonce reaching the asset tags linked mode injects, the dev-only marko-vite-preload FOUC guard and its no-JS consequence, and a README express sample that cannot run as written.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds five feedback reports. The reports document CSP nonce propagation, the development FOUC guard, missing CSS URL asset emission in SSR builds, selected link asset inlining, and failures in the README Express sample. Each report includes reproduction or verification steps and proposed documentation or implementation updates.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b6c8c

The PR adds documentation and validation guidance without changing product runtime behavior. A few checks and descriptions are currently inaccurate or nondeterministic, including CSP verification, asset-name matching, request timeout handling, and multi-token link relations; the PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to correct these bounded issues.

# Say in the README that `$global.cspNonce` is applied to the asset tags linked mode injects

Linked mode already nonces the tags it injects, and no doc says so, so a reader wiring a strict CSP over it has to render a page and read the markup to find out whether the injected assets are covered. `src/serializer.ts` pushes an `InjectType.AssetAttrs` slot on every `<script>`, every `<style>` and every `<link>` whose `rel` is `stylesheet` or `modulepreload` or whose `as` is `style` or `script`, and `src/link-assets.ts` plus `src/render-assets-runtime.ts` expand that slot to ` nonce="…"` whenever `g.cspNonce` is set. The README mentions neither `nonce` nor CSP anywhere, and website/docs/reference/template.md's `### $global.cspNonce` section enumerates only the tags the Marko runtime itself renders (`<html-script>`/`<html-style>`, the `<style>` rendered for a `<style>` tag with dynamic values, and the stream and resume inline scripts), an enumeration whose members are all `<script>` or `<style>` elements. Add a sentence under `# Linked Mode` naming the script, style and stylesheet/modulepreload `<link>` tags the plugin nonces, and a clause in that template.md section pointing at it. Keep the wording to those kinds: other `<link>` rels deliberately get no slot, since a nonce is inert there.

Make the check verify the CSP contract.

The curl -s command discards response headers, and the broad grep succeeds when any tag has any nonce. Capture Content-Security-Policy, compare its nonce, and assert the stylesheet link, modulepreload link, and module script each use that nonce.

In dev, linked mode prepends a guard to every flushed asset group: `getPreventFOUCParts` emits `<style marko-vite-preload="<id>">html{visibility:hidden !important}</style>` plus an inline `async blocking=render type=module` script that awaits the entry modules and then removes both nodes. The mechanism is deliberate and dev-only by construction, but `marko-vite-preload`, `visibility:hidden` and `FOUC` appear in no README, website page or cheatsheet, so two consequences arrive unannounced. With JavaScript disabled, every dev page is blank, `document.documentElement` computing to `visibility: hidden` with the guard nodes still in the document, which reads as a broken app to anyone testing the promise in website/docs/explanation/targeted-compilation.md that Marko applications function completely without JavaScript. A whole-document comparison of served HTML against the hydrated DOM in dev also shows those two nodes as a delta that a production build does not produce, which sends people hunting a hydration mismatch. Add a sentence under README.md's `# Linked Mode` and in the marko-run `dev` docs naming the guard, the `marko-vite-preload` attribute to grep for, and its dev-only scope; emitting a `<noscript><style>html{visibility:visible !important}</style></noscript>` sibling would also make no-JS dev pages render.

Check: run `marko-run dev` on an app, then `curl -s http://localhost:<port>/<route> | grep -o '<style marko-vite-preload[^>]*>[^<]*</style>'` prints `<style marko-vite-preload="dist_.marko-run_report.marko">html{visibility:hidden !important}</style>`, and `grep -ci noscript` on the same document prints 0. Loading that url with `javaScriptEnabled: false` reports `visibility` `hidden`, 2 guard nodes and an invisible `<h1>`; after `marko-run build && marko-run preview` the same route has no `marko-vite-preload` and reports `visibility` `visible`. `grep -rn -i 'marko-vite-preload\|visibility:hidden\|FOUC' README.md` exits 1.

An SSR build writes no assets, so `generateBundle`'s ssr branch collects asset module ids into `serverManifest.ssrAssetIds` and `transform` appends a side-effect `import` of each to the client entry, letting the client pass emit the files. The collector gates on `module?.meta["vite:asset"]`, which only Vite's `vite:asset` plugin sets, but `vite:css` is registered ahead of it and claims `*.css?url` in its own `load` hook, so a css `?url` module carries empty meta and never reaches `ssrAssetIds`. A `<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="./print.css?url">` in a server-only layout, which is exactly the spelling `# Browser asset references` in README.md prescribes to force a `.css` reference and exactly what `assetFileReg` in `src/relative-assets-transform.ts` matches, therefore compiles to a hashed `/assets/print-<hash>.css` href backed by no file: the build exits 0 with no warning and every request for that stylesheet 404s. A png referenced from the same `<link>` element in the same layout is emitted, which is why the `isomorphic-ssr-asset` fixture never caught this. Adding css `?url` ids to `ssrAssetIds` is not enough on its own, because the generated client-entry import is side-effect only and a css `?url` file is written only when its `__VITE_CSS_URL__` default export survives into a rendered chunk, so the fix has to reference the imported value or emit the file directly. Guard it with a fixture shaped like `isomorphic-relative-asset-import` whose `?url` stylesheet lives in a template that stays out of the client bundle.

Check: in a linked-mode SSR app with `build.ssrEmitAssets` left at its default and a server-only layout containing `<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="./print.css?url">`, run `NODE_ENV=production vite build --app`; it exits 0 with no warning, `grep -o 'assets/print-[A-Za-z0-9_-]*\.css' dist/index.js` prints the reference (`assets/print-SKKTRJpX.css`), `ls dist/assets | grep print` prints nothing, and `curl -i http://localhost:<port>/assets/print-SKKTRJpX.css` against the built server returns `HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found`. Control: a 120 KB png referenced as `<link rel="preload" as="image" href="./big.png">` from the same layout does land in `dist/assets` and serves 200.

The only server example in the README cannot parse, cannot run once it parses, and sends nothing once it runs: its `app.get("/", ...)` callback closes with `);` and no `}`, it imports `{ createServer } from "vite"` but calls `createViteServer(...)`, it calls `express()` without importing it, it omits `appType: "custom"` so Vite's default `spa` app type appends `indexHtmlMiddleware` and `notFoundMiddleware` to `vite.middlewares` and answers every request `404` with an empty body before the route runs, and `template.render({ hello: "world" }, res)` is Marko 5's two-argument signature that Marko 6 ignores, leaving the response open until something calls `.pipe(res)`. Since this is the one setup a linked-mode reader can copy, every one of those has to be rediscovered by hand. Two more stale spots sit in the same file: `### options.runtimeId` explains the option in terms of `window.$components`, a name no Marko 6 runtime uses (both key off `runtimeId`, whose default is `DEFAULT_RUNTIME_ID`), and the `linked: false` link under `# Linked Mode` points at `#options.linked` while GitHub slugs that heading `#optionslinked`, so it lands nowhere. Port the working equivalent from website/docs/introduction/installation.md, repair the anchor and the `$components` sentence, and give `### options.linked` a worked `linked: false` config, a thing that appears in no page of this README, the website docs, either cheatsheet, or marko-js/examples beyond a one-line aside in website/docs/reference/lazy-loading.md.

Check: copy the fenced `js` block under `# Linked Mode` into `/tmp/sample.mjs` and run `node --check /tmp/sample.mjs`; it prints `SyntaxError: Unexpected token ')'`. Repair only the missing `}`, the `createViteServer` name and the express import, run it, and `curl -i http://localhost:3000/` returns `HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found` with `Content-Length: 0` while the route body never executes; adding `appType: "custom"` reaches the route, which then never responds. `node -e 'console.log(new (require("github-slugger").default)().slug("options.linked"))'` prints `optionslinked`.

# Skip inlining for relative `<link rel=icon|apple-touch-icon|manifest>` assets, as Vite's HTML pipeline does

`transform` rewrites a static relative asset attribute into a plain Vite asset import without consulting the tag's `rel`, so `<link rel=icon href="./favicon.png">`, `rel=apple-touch-icon` and `rel=manifest` all fall through to Vite's size-only `shouldInline` (`build.assetsInlineLimit`, default 4096 bytes, with no rel and no SSR exception) and are base64-inlined into the SSR chunk. Vite's own HTML pipeline refuses to inline those rels on purpose, keeping `icon`, `apple-touch-icon`, `apple-touch-startup-image` and `manifest` in its `noInlineLinkRels` set, so the same 2.3 KB favicon that stays a hashed file in an `index.html` build becomes a 3.1 KB `data:` URI sitting in the head of every HTML response, uncacheable and charged to the first packet, and a `.webmanifest` is served as `data:application/manifest+json;base64,…`. Mirror Vite: when the tag is `link` and its static `rel` is one of those four, emit the generated import with `?no-inline`. That query is safe to add unconditionally, since `src/query.ts` already passes `no-inline` through and the package's peer range is `vite: ^8`. While fixing it, name the inline threshold and its two opt-outs (`?no-inline` on the reference, `build.assetsInlineLimit`) in README.md's `# Browser asset references`, which shows a hashed-file output as the result and says nothing about inlining.

Specify token matching for rel.

rel is a space-separated token list. Match each parsed token against Vite’s noInlineLinkRels set. An exact-string comparison would still inline rel="shortcut icon". Add a multi-token fixture.

at line 10, Update the link rel handling in transform to split the static rel
value into tokens and check each token against Vite’s noInlineLinkRels set,
ensuring values such as “shortcut icon” receive ?no-inline. Add a fixture
covering a multi-token rel attribute.
