feat(css): default css.transformer to lightningcss#797
Merged
Conversation
Change the default CSS transformer from `postcss` to `lightningcss`. Lightning CSS handles @import via `bundleAsync()` and provides better performance without requiring PostCSS as a dependency. Edge-case tests (cycles, duplicates, @charset, external imports, anonymous layer, layer wrapping) now explicitly use `transformer: 'postcss'` since they rely on postcss-import-specific behavior.
