Dependency upgrade — Astro 5→7, @astrojs/node 9→11, Tailwind 4.1→4.3
Skipped the broken Astro 5.14.1 lock-file state and jumped directly to Astro 7.0.6 — the biggest version hop in the site's history. Build is passing clean.

Why Care?
Astro 7 ships Vite 8, Rolldown bundling, and a modernized server adapter API. Staying on Astro 5 meant depending on a broken lock-file state (the astro@5.14.1 version had been cleaned from the workspace pnpm store, leaving the site unbuildable). This upgrade both unbreaks the build and lands the site on the current major.
What's New?
| Package | Before | After |
astro | ^5.14.1 (broken) | ^7.0.6 |
@astrojs/node | ^9.5.0 | ^11.0.2 |
@astrojs/rss | missing | ^4.0.19 |
@tailwindcss/vite | ^4.1.14 | ^4.3.2 |
tailwindcss | ^4.1.14 | ^4.3.2 |
Build result: Complete! — 3 pages, server output mode, no errors.
What had to be fixed
@astrojs/node9 → 11 — Astro 7 removedapplyPolyfillsfromastro/app/node; the v9 adapter still imported it. Upgrading to v11 resolved the missing-export build error.@astrojs/rss— The RSS feed atsrc/pages/changelog/[product]/rss.xml.tswas using@astrojs/rssbut it was never declared as a dependency. Added explicitly.Broken baseline —
astro@5.14.1was referenced inpnpm-lock.yamlbut the workspace store had been cleaned. Rather than restore v5, upgraded directly to v7 (which was the goal anyway).
Remaining warnings (pre-existing, not regressions)
Three getStaticPaths() ignored warnings for the changelog dynamic pages — in SSR server output mode, getStaticPaths() is ignored unless the page declares export const prerender = true. These pages were already SSR-dynamic before this upgrade; no behavior change.
The changelog-parslee glob-loader warning (no .md files found) is a missing submodule — unrelated to this upgrade.
