Agent Quick Fix

Repair against the current Tailwind CSS contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.

Product: Tailwind CSS
Current-contract area: Tailwind v4 Vite integration still uses PostCSS path
Likely root cause: HMR/build behavior is slow or broken because the project misses the dedicated Vite plugin.
Repair direction: Verifier checks the current package identity/config format and a real transformed output. Verify a minimal current configuration and actual generated CSS.

Symptom

HMR/build behavior is slow or broken because the project misses the dedicated Vite plugin.

Why This Happens

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

Common Wrong Fixes

  • Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
  • Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
  • Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
