+- **When adding a bundled plugin, grep for an existing one** (e.g. `rg -l "fusion-plugin-roadmap" packages/` ) and mirror every hit — that surfaces all four lists plus view registration. If the plugin has a dashboard view, keep the view load path client-only and do not re-export the view component from the server entry.
 - Route tests must force the fallback: mock fs so the cwd-relative path **misses** and only `dist/plugins/<id>` exists (see "installs bundled compound engineering plugin when relative path misses cwd" in `packages/dashboard/src/__tests__/plugin-routes.test.ts`). A mock that matches any path containing the plugin id tests nothing.
 - **Pin assertions to the exact contract, not substring containment.** `stringContaining(pluginId)` passed for both the correct entry-file path and the buggy directory path — when a mock or matcher can satisfy both the correct and the buggy value, the test proves nothing. Route tests now assert the registered path ends in an entry-file suffix, cover the `dist/index.js` and `src/index.ts` fallbacks, and the 400 no-entry branch.
 - When duplicating a helper is forced by test infrastructure (fs mocks vs externalized deps), add a real-fs drift-guard test that runs every copy against the same on-disk fixtures and asserts identical output.

 Vite's static analysis cannot trace these imports, so it relies on `resolve.alias` to map the module ID to a filesystem path. Without the alias, Vite falls through to default resolution, which fails because the plugin package is in a sibling `plugins/` directory outside the dashboard's root. The error surfaces through the CSS loader because Vite's fallback resolution path misattributes the failure.
 
+## Related root cause: CSS import via index re-export
+
+The same `Unknown file extension ".css"` symptom can also happen when a plugin's **server-side entry** (`src/index.ts` / `dist/index.js`) re-exports its dashboard view component:
+
+```ts
+export { SomeDashboardView } from "./dashboard-view.js";
+```
+
+Server-side plugin loading uses Node.js `import()` against the plugin entry. If that entry re-exports a React dashboard view, Node follows the chain into the view and any imported `.css` files before Vite is involved, then crashes because the Node ESM loader does not handle CSS. The fix is to keep dashboard view components out of the server entry: preserve the `dashboardViews` manifest metadata (`componentPath: "./dashboard-view"`) and load the view client-side through `registerBundledPluginViews.ts` plus the Vite alias.

 ## Prevention
 
 - **When adding a bundled plugin with a dashboard view, grep for an existing plugin alias** in `packages/dashboard/vite.config.ts` and mirror the pattern for the new plugin
+- **Do not re-export dashboard view components from the plugin's server-side `index.ts`** — the server entry must stay free of React/CSS view imports; `dashboardViews` metadata is enough for registration
 - **Verify the alias in both dev and production builds** — the alias must resolve correctly for Vite's dev server and its production bundler
 - **Consider a consistency test** that asserts every plugin registered in `registerBundledPluginViews.ts` has a corresponding Vite alias (similar to the existing `lazy-loaded-views-docs.test.ts` that keeps the AGENTS.md view inventory in sync)
