Describe the bug

I have a plugin that post-processes the built files for i18n using the generateBundle hook, but in recent Vite versions it runs before Vite replaces the VITE_PRELOAD strings.

The importanalysis plugin always runs after user defined plugins:

The reason I picked generateBundle is so that I don't have to worry about where the files are stored. writeBundle doesn't get called when using the API and closeBundle doesn't seem to have the information to find the built files.

Should there be one more plugin hook, e.g. bundleComplete? Or should I be doing the post-processing differrently?

Steps to reproduce

Use compiled-i18n in a project, bundle it, and notice that VITE_PRELOAD is still present in the i18n-ed versions.
