 - Canonicalization: add parentheses when removing whitespace from arbitrary values would hurt readability ([#19986](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/pull/19986))
 - Canonicalization: preserve the original unit in arbitrary values instead of normalizing to base units (e.g. `-mt-[20in]` → `mt-[-20in]`, not `mt-[-1920px]`) ([#19988](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/pull/19988))
 - Canonicalization: migrate arbitrary `:has()` variants from `[&:has(…)]` to `has-[…]` ([#19991](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/pull/19991))
