What

The infra-side app-registry change vendoring Basecoat UI also vendors
@tailwindcss/browser@4.3.2 (self-hosted, served at /tailwind/browser.js),
because Basecoat's own CDN bundle only ships the Tailwind utility classes its
components use — not general-purpose utilities like grid, flex, gap-*,
or responsive variants, which the guide's own Layout examples rely on.
Confirmed empirically: those examples render as an unstyled single column
without it.

This docs the fix:

  • New "Tailwind utilities" section under Layout patterns, pointing at the
    vendored /tailwind/browser.js
  • Corrects the Layout intro, which previously implied Basecoat's bundle
    included general Tailwind utilities
  • Pins both package versions (basecoat-css@1.0.2, @tailwindcss/browser@4.3.2)

Test plan

  • Reviewed rendered markdown for broken links/anchors

Basecoat's own CDN bundle only ships the Tailwind utility classes its
components use, not general-purpose utilities like grid/flex/gap-* — the
Layout section's examples need real Tailwind. Document the vendored
Tailwind Browser build at /tailwind/browser.js and pin both packages'
versions (basecoat-css@1.0.2, @tailwindcss/browser@4.3.2).
