Known Compatibility Issues & Recommendations

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:

  1. zod v4: Check if validation schemas need updates.
  2. bcryptjs v3: Check if password hashing/verification code needs updates.
  3. recharts v3: Chart components may need updates to match new API.

Low Priority:

  1. @types/node v25: Usually compatible, but check for any Node.js API changes.

Testing Checklist

After updating dependencies:

  • Run npm install in both backend and frontend
  • Run npm run build in frontend

  • Test API endpoints
  • Test database connections
  • Test all UI components and charts
  • Run any existing tests
  • Check console for deprecation warnings
