Subject: [PATCH] update part6a.md

add: instructions to configure `jest` globals for vite: ^6.3.5

the existing notes pre-suppose that a file `.eslintrc.cjs` exists, which doesn't come with newer versions of vite.

these changes guide students using a newer version of vite to configure their project so jest globals (describe, test, etc.) can be used without importing.

thanks! :)

 To make testing easier, we'll first move the reducer's code to its own module, to the file <i>src/reducers/noteReducer.js</i>. We'll also add the library [deep-freeze](https://www.npmjs.com/package/deep-freeze), which can be used to ensure that the reducer has been correctly defined as an immutable function.
 Let's install the library as a development dependency:
