This configuration contains Servlet-specific bits needed to set up everything. If something like this is a viable approach, I assume WebFlux-specific equivalent is needed as well (I've never used Dev Tools with WebFlux so I'm unaware if there are any limitations).

Perhaps something to consider is embedding the script in what LiveReload.js readme refers to as slightly smarter way, see https://github.com/livereload/livereload-js?tab=readme-ov-file#using-livereloadjs.

This updates the existing livereload.js to latest version from https://github.com/livereload/livereload-js.

Not sure whether it's needed to explicitly call out here that browser extensions are no longer needed and Spring Boot provides everything needed.
