 chore: rebuild the report UI with React Router 8, React 19 and Vite 8
 
 The report UI moves from Remix 2 (end of life) to React Router 8 in framework mode, as a static single-page app, with React 19 and Vite 8. The report looks and works the same, and the CLI did not change.
 
-Vite 8 builds for its default target "baseline widely available": the report now needs Chrome or Edge 111+, Firefox 114+ or Safari 16.4+ (before, with Vite 5: Chrome 87+, Edge 88+, Firefox 78+, Safari 14+).
+The report still opens in the same browsers as before: Chrome 87+, Edge 88+, Firefox 78+ and Safari 14+. Vite 8 builds for newer browsers by default, so the reporter sets this list itself.
