 - Fix crash in canonicalization step when handling utilities with empty property maps ([#19727](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/pull/19727))
 - Skip full reload for server only modules scanned by client CSS when using `@tailwindcss/vite` ([#19745](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/pull/19745))
 - Add support for Vite 8 in `@tailwindcss/vite` ([#19790](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/pull/19790))
+- Improve canonicalization for bare values exceeding default spacing scale suggestions (e.g. `w-1234 h-1234` → `size-1234`) ([#19809](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/pull/19809))
