    '@tailwindcss/postcss': {},

Note about using Turbopack

If you're using Turbopack (likenext dev --turbopack), The default Lightning CSS config will modify some styles which maycause issues.

To fix this add"browserslist": "> 1%"to yourpackage.jsonfile using this command:

npm pkg set browserslist="> 1%"

This will tell Lightning CSS to target modern browsers instead of polyfilling styles for outdated browsers.
