UI Fix Required - Restart Dev Server

Issue

PostCSS is still loading cached Tailwind CSS v4 modules even though we've downgraded to v3.

Solution

Restart the Vite dev server to pick up the correct Tailwind CSS version:

# Stop the current dev server (Ctrl+C)
# Then restart:
cd $PROJECT_ROOT/frontend
npm run dev

What Was Done

1. ✅ Uninstalled Tailwind CSS v4.1.17
2. ✅ Installed Tailwind CSS v3.4.17 (compatible with shadcn/ui)
3. ✅ Cleared Vite cache
4. ⏳ Needs dev server restart to complete fix

Verification

After restarting, navigate to http://localhost:5173/ and you should see:

• Full UI without errors
• Document Viewer header
• Search bar
• Directory tree (empty until backend runs)
• Main content pane
• Footer with note count

The API 500 errors are expected and will resolve once backend routes are implemented.
