 ### High Priority:
 1. **tailwindcss v4**: This is a major update with significant changes. The project's configuration files (tailwind.config.js, postcss.config.js) may need updates. Note: Tailwind v4 is designed to be backward compatible with v3 configs in most cases.
+   - **FIXED (2026-02-20)**: Updated postcss.config.js to use `@tailwindcss/postcss` plugin instead of `tailwindcss` directly. Added `@tailwindcss/postcss: ^4.0.0` to devDependencies.
 
 ### Medium Priority:
 2. **zod v4**: Check if validation schemas need updates.
