Describe your issue

The Vite plugin intends to ignore SVG files that contain a ? or # in the path because Vite crashes when scanning those. The current regex only matches when ? or # appear before “.svg” and the string ends with “.svg”, so common paths like icons/foo.svg?component or icons/foo.svg#sprite are not ignored and can crash Vite.
Steps to reproduce:

Create a Vite project and enable the Tailwind Vite plugin from this repo.
Import an SVG with a query or hash, e.g. import Icon from './icons/foo.svg?component'.
Start dev server and modify the SVG; Vite may crash due to scanning.
Expected:

Files ending in .svg, optionally followed by ?… or #…, should be ignored by addWatchFile to avoid the known Vite crash.
Actual:

Paths like foo.svg?component or foo.svg#sprite are not matched by the ignore check and remain watched.
