manifest and devDependency

[slow plume]

Why do all installed dependencies have to be installe to the devDependency key in the package.json file?

it's not required, it's a recommendation. For the client bundle it doesn't matter, but for the server bundle it shows exactly what modules need to be installed on the production.

It's better to have a server bundle that is tree-shaken, so that it starts faster. It's also better to have less modules installed in production, so that it deploys faster.

It seems to be enforced by qwik because it complains in the terminal when I install to the dependency key in the package.json

See your vite config file, it's done there, you can take that out
