2026 Roadmap

DX-Focused Hot Module Replacement (minor-safe)

• Detect CSS-only updates via existing moduleInfo default-export signals.
• Swap the updated knightedCss string into live CSSStyleSheet instances without rerendering component trees.
• Expose helper hooks (e.g., via asKnightedCssCombinedModule) so framework adapters can opt in incrementally.

Type Pipeline Cleanup

• Remove the triple-slash references from types.d.ts for v2.0, replacing them with standard ESM import/export wiring.
• Ensure the new pipeline preserves the current downstream behavior for 1.x users via a documented migration path.
• Add a CLI --exclude option to skip directories/files during type generation scans.

Lightning CSS Dependency Strategy

• Evaluate promoting lightningcss to a peer dependency so consumers can align with their own upgrade cadence.
• Document fallbacks for specificity workflows if teams opt to satisfy the peer via compatible forks or alternative transformers.

Sass Resolver Options

• Allow configuring conditionNames for pkg: resolution (e.g., opt into sass or custom priority ordering).
• Allow opting into explicit tsconfig selection instead of tsconfig: auto when resolving pkg: specifiers.
