+/**
+ * Converts Connect/Express-style middleware to Koa middleware.
+ *
+ * This adapter bridges the gap between Vite's Connect-based middleware system
+ * and Ladle's Koa-based server architecture.
+ *
+ * @param {import('vite').Connect.Server} connectMiddleware - Connect/Express middleware function with signature (req, res, next)
+ * @returns {(ctx: KoaContext, next: KoaNext) => Promise<void>} Koa middleware function with signature (ctx, next)
+ *
+ * @description
+ * Vite uses Connect middleware internally (similar to Express), which expects
+ * (req, res, next) function signatures. Koa uses a different pattern with a context
+ * object (ctx) and async/await. This adapter wraps Connect middleware to work with Koa.
+ *
+ * **Supported Vite Versions:**
+ * - Vite 7.x
+ * - Vite 6.x
+ * - Vite 5.x
+ * - Vite 4.x
+ *
+ * **How it works:**
+ * 1. Receives a Connect middleware that expects Node.js req/res objects
+ * 2. Extracts req and res from the Koa context (ctx.req, ctx.res)
+ * 3. Wraps the Connect middleware call in a Promise
+ * 4. Handles errors from the Connect middleware by rejecting the Promise
+ * 5. Continues the Koa middleware chain by calling next()
+ *
+ * @example
+ * import { connectToKoa } from './connect-to-koa.js';
+ * import vite from 'vite';
+ *
+ * const viteServer = await vite.createServer();
+ * app.use(connectToKoa(viteServer.middlewares));
