Every visible Link prefetched its dynamic route: 27 RSC requests per page view, and prefetch=false also kills hover

Rule: If shadcn init asks "Which preset would you like to use?" but you need style new-york, write components.json with "style": "new-york" yourself and run shadcn add index --yes --overwrite.
Snippet: { "$schema": "https://ui.shadcn.com/schema.json", "style": "new-york", "rsc": true, "tsx": true, "tailwind": { "config": "", "css": "src/app/globals.css", "baseColor": "neutral", "cssVariables": true, "prefix": "" }, "iconLibrary": "lucide", "aliases": { "components": "@/components", "utils": "@/lib/utils", "ui": "@/components/ui", "lib": "@/lib", "hooks": "@/hooks" } }

pnpm dlx shadcn@4.23.0 add index --yes --overwrite
Check: pnpm dlx shadcn@4.23.0 add button then creates src/components/ui/button.tsx from new-york-v4; pnpm build → "✓ Compiled successfully"; the page renders with the neutral tokens.
Applies to: shadcn@>=4.23 <5
I assumed: init prompts for a style (New York) and a base color, as in shadcn 2.x/3.x, and -b radix picks Radix primitives.
What happened: pnpm dlx shadcn@4.23.0 init -b radix --no-monorepo stopped at Which preset would you like to use? — Nova (Lucide / Geist), Vega, Maia, Lyra, Mira, Luma, Sera, Rhea, Custom. Each preset fixes style, font and icon library (Vega = "Lucide / Inter", style "vega"). With a components.json already present, init only asks A components.json file already exists. Would you like to overwrite it?.
Why: init in 4.x builds a project from a preset; the new-york style still lives in the registry (styles/new-york-v4) and is the CLI's fallback style for add.
The fix: hand-wrote components.json (style new-york, rsc, tsx, baseColor neutral, cssVariables true, iconLibrary lucide, the usual aliases), then pnpm dlx shadcn@4.23.0 add index --yes --overwrite. It installed the style's dependencies (class-variance-authority, cn, lucide-react, radix-ui, tw-animate-css, shadcn) and wrote globals.css: @import "tw-animate-css", @import "shadcn/tailwind.css", @custom-variant dark, @theme inline, the neutral :root/.dark variables and the base layer.
Evidence: CLI prompt text above; globals.css grew from 1 line to 126.
