VitePress tightened up local search with loading states and Agent Studio support, while the docs team knocked out outstanding TODO stubs that have been blocking the guides.

VitePress landed three solid improvements across search and build tooling in the last 24 hours. The search desk shipped a loading state UI [1] that shows users when the local search index is building or results are refreshing, complete with accessibility markers for screen readers. That same team also fixed Agent Studio DocSearch options [2] to preserve AI assistant configuration through hybrid and side panel modes, ensuring the ask-ai experience doesn't break when you switch search layouts. On the foundational side, the team dropped fs-extra as a dependency [3], cleaning up the module graph. The bigger story: a Vite 8 migration [4] is in flight and will likely ship soon. Over in docs, the team just closed out a sprawling PR [5] that resolved TODO stubs scattered across the reactivity guide, options API, and tooling sections. Screen readers now get proper alt text for every diagram [6] instead of generic labels like 'prop drilling diagram'. These aren't flashy features, but they're the blocking work that keeps the guides honest and accessible.

Action items

→ Test VitePress local search in your docs site if you're using it - the UI has changed vuejs/vitepress [plan]
→ If you maintain a site with Agent Studio search, verify your AI assistant options persist after the next VitePress bump vuejs/vitepress [monitor]
→ Pull the latest docs when you deploy - the TODO gaps in reactivity and options guides are now filled vuejs/docs [plan]
