Remove dev deps 3

Note

Prunes dev dependencies, swaps broad lodash usage for smaller modules, updates knip/docs, and simplifies tests/configs across multiple npm packages.

• Dependencies:
  • Remove unused dev deps (e.g., vite-plugin-inspect, tailwindcss, lodash, chokidar-cli, cypress-each, cypress-expect, extra semver types).
  • Add focused modules (lodash.mergewith, lodash.isplainobject) and typings where needed; update webpack-preprocessor dev deps (globby, json5).
• Config/Tooling:
  • Update knip.json with additional entry paths (Cypress specs), expanded project globs, new ignoreDependencies, and extra ignore patterns (e.g., **/babel.config.{js,ts,cjs,mjs}).
  • Remove CYPRESS_INTERNAL_VITE_INSPECT docs from CONTRIBUTING.md; drop vite-plugin-inspect from vite-dev-server.
• Code/Test Cleanup:
  • npm/grep: replace deep equality via lodash with JSON.stringify and refactor .each tests to simple loops.
  • npm/mount-utils: switch to lodash.mergewith for config merging.
  • npm/puppeteer: import lodash.isplainobject module; adjust package deps.
  • npm/react: remove obsolete triple-slash type refs in component tests.
  • npm/vue: remove Tailwind example files (cypress/component/tailwind/*).
