Revert Vite 8 / Rolldown upgrade #4881

Description

@pomfrida

Background

We upgraded Vite 7 → 8 (which swaps the bundler from Rollup to Rolldown) in #4759 and #4762. Since then we've hit recurring regressions that have been costly to chase down:

Vite 8 + Rolldown is still very new for our use cases. Rather than keep firefighting downstream, revert to Vite 7 / Rollup. The next attempt is tracked separately.

Revert scope

PRs to revert:

Subsequent grouped Dependabot bumps that nudged vite up to ^8.0.9 need to have the vite line partially reverted; the rest of those groups can stay.

Affected files:

  • packages/eds-tailwind/package.json
  • packages/eds-tokens-build/{package.json, vite.config.ts}
  • packages/eds-tokens-sync/{package.json, vite.config.ts}
  • packages/eds-tokens/{package.json, vite.generate-variables.config.ts}
  • packages/eds-utils/package.json
  • apps/eds-color-palette-generator/{package.json, vite.config.ts}
  • pnpm-lock.yaml

Keep (do NOT revert)

Follow-up

Pin vite in .github/dependabot.yml to ignore version-update:semver-major so the next major doesn't auto-merge before we've validated the upgrade.

The re-attempt of the Vite 8 upgrade is tracked separately.
