Agent Quick Fix

The old package/config name is syntactically valid, but current tool packaging and discovery rules live in external release documentation.

Product: Tailwind CSS
Current-contract area: Tailwind v4 content detection misses monorepo source
Likely root cause: Utilities used in a linked workspace package are not generated.
Repair direction: Verifier checks the current package identity/config format and a real transformed output. Verify a minimal current configuration and actual generated CSS.

  • Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
