Vite-lizing Rails: get live reload and hot replacement with Vite Ruby

Recently, I upgraded my AnyCable demo application to Ruby 3 and Rails 7 with its new asset management tooling. As a result, assets:precompile became fast as lightning, but we lost one important productivity feature along the way: live reloading. Switching back to Webpacker in 2022 was not a good idea. Luckily, Vite Ruby had been on my radar for quite some time, so I decided to give it a try.
