Detailed Release Changelog
- Support –watch –poll[=ms] in @tailwindcss/cli when filesystem events are unreliable or unavailable (#20297)

Architectural Context & Staging Protocol
When evaluating new software releases for Web Platform, web engineers and site administrators must assess backward compatibility, database migration overhead, and third-party extension interactions. Production deployment should always follow an isolated staging verification workflow to monitor server response times, DOM node complexity, and Core Web Vitals (including INP and LCP metrics).
All release intelligence indexed on WebPlatformLab is cross-verified against official vendor changelogs, public developer documentation, and standards recommendations from the W3C and MDN Web Docs communities.
