Steps to reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Push changes to the repository

Relevant Configuration Files:

package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "vite",
    "build": "vite build",
    "preview": "vite preview",
    "typecheck": "tsc --noEmit"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@vitejs/plugin-react": "^4.2.1",
    "vite": "^5.0.12"
    // ... other dependencies
  }
}

netlify.toml:

[build]
  command = "npm install && npm run build"
  publish = "dist"

[build.environment]
  NODE_VERSION = "20"
  NPM_FLAGS = "--legacy-peer-deps"
  NODE_ENV = "production"

Error Log:

10:17:29 PM: > [email protected] build
10:17:29 PM: > vite build
10:17:29 PM: sh: 1: vite: not found

### Expected behavior

npm install should install all dependencies, including Vite
- vite build command should be available and execute successfully
- Build should complete and deploy the site

### Additional context

Things Already Tried:
1. Updated build command to include explicit install
2. Verified Vite is in devDependencies
3. Confirmed Node version is set correctly
4. Added NPM_FLAGS with --legacy-peer-deps

Additional Context:
The build process seems to be unable to find the vite executable even though it's listed in devDependencies and should be installed during the npm install step.
