Closes#18381
* [Changelog for Vite 7.0.0
(2025-06-24)](https://github.com/vitejs/vite/blob/main/packages/vite/CHANGELOG.md#700-2025-06-24)
Starting from Vite 7, Node 18 support will be dropped, which doesn't
really affect Tailwind. It might be worth mentioning in the
documentation that the recommended minimum Node versions are 20.19 and
22.12.
Vite 7 is only available in ESM format, which is also not an issue.
Vite's browser support aligns with the v4 guidelines:
```
Chrome 87 → 107 (tw: 111)
Edge 88 → 107 (tw: 111)
Firefox 78 → 104 (tw: 128)
Safari 14.0 → 16.0 (tw: 16.4)
```
* [Vite 7 - Browser
Support](https://vite.dev/guide/migration.html#default-browser-target-change)
* [Tailwind CSS v4 - Browser
Support](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/compatibility#browser-support)
So, at first glance, there's nothing more to do except enabling support
for these versions.

Resolves#15722
This PR adds a list of ignored dependencies (in the current form only
`tailwind-merge`) to the Vite extension which, when included in the
dependency tree, are no longer scanned by the Tailwind CSS compiler for
candidates. This is to work around an issue where some dependencies
contain vast lists of valid Tailwind CSS class names which would
otherwise always be inlined in the build.
## Test plan
This was tested in our Vite playground on both dev and prod builds
across macOS and Windows:
### Windows prod build before
### Windows prod build after
This includes a debug `console.log(…)` to make sure it matches the right
module.
### Windows dev build after
This includes a debug `console.log(…)` to make sure it matches the right
module.
