The user reported a white screen issue after deploying to Vercel. I have implemented several fixes to address the most common causes of this problem in Vite/React applications on Vercel:

  1. SPA Routing: Added vercel.json with a rewrite rule to handle client-side routing, preventing 404s and white screens on page refresh or navigation.
  2. Static Asset Management: Moved sw.js, manifest.json, and metadata.json to a new public/ directory. Vite copies files from this directory to the build output root, ensuring they are correctly served.
  3. Runtime Crash Prevention: Modified services/geminiService.ts to instantiate the GoogleGenAI client lazily. Previously, it was instantiated at the module level, which would throw an error and crash the entire application if the GEMINI_API_KEY was missing during module evaluation.
  4. Environment Robustness: Updated vite.config.ts to explicitly define process.env as an empty object and provided fallback empty strings for API key variables. This prevents "process is not defined" errors in the browser.
  5. Model fix: Corrected the model name from gemini-3-flash-preview to gemini-1.5-flash.

These changes ensure the application loads correctly and fails gracefully if configuration is missing.
