+Vite: Error messages when .server files are referenced by client
+
+Previously, referencing a `.server` module from client code resulted in an error message like:
+
+```txt
+The requested module '/app/models/answer.server.ts' does not provide an export named 'isDateType'
+```
+
+Which was confusing because `answer.server.ts` _does_ provide the `isDateType` export,
+but Remix was replacing `.server` modules with empty modules (`export {}`) for the client build.
+
+Now, Remix explicitly fails at compile time when a `.server` module is referenced from client code
+and includes dedicated error messages depending on whether the import occurs in a route or a non-route
+module. The error messages also include links to relevant documentation.
