What Preview Is For

preview is the production-leaning counterpart to a built shell. It is useful when you want to validate:

  • a built shell rather than a hot-reloading dev server
  • how the app feels without the dev middleware path
  • what a sharable local preview URL looks like

The --export path is still lightweight today, but this is the command that should own future static preview packaging.
