It means you don't have installed tailwindcss

[ptgamr]

I'm sure tailwindcss is installed - that's why "Downgrade to 8.4.14 the build is fine again"

[alexander-akait]

Sounds like a bug in PostCSS, we don't have 8.4.14 version, we just PostCSS runner, not more, can you create reproducible test repo?
