What is the manifest.json created in build /app/manifest.json?

I'm using adapter-static.

What is the manifest.json created in build /app/manifest.json?

Do I need it?

It starts like this:

{
  ".svelte-kit/build/runtime/internal/start.js": {
    "file": "start-4a47708e.js",
    "src": ".svelte-kit/build/runtime/internal/start.js",
    "isEntry": true,
    "imports": [
      "_vendor-660c66ca.js",
      "_singletons-a42a5e91.js"
    ],
    "dynamicImports": [
      "src/routes/__layout.svelte",
      "src/routes/__error.svelte",
      "src/routes/index.svelte",
...

Bumping this question, since the manifest.json blocks creating a manifest.json for PWAs. (I could put my own manifest.json somewhere else, but if the generated one is avoidable, I'd rather put the file in the generated site's root.)

After reading this I retract my comment, since the extension .webmanifest is recommended for a PWA manifest. So my point is irrelevant to this discussion.

It's something Vite creates, that we use (among other things) to figure out which client-side files are needed for which route. It's not supposed to be publicly accessible, this is an unintended result of a recent change. See #5874
