+- *Server-level* (at submission) \u2014 TLD patterns such as \`*.co.uk\`,
+  \`*.com.au\`, and \`*.github.io\` may pass the format check but will be
+  rejected at submission, since they would otherwise allow any registrant
+  under a shared registry.
+
+**Local development.** Exact \`localhost\` and IPv4 literals (\`127.0.0.1\`) are
+still valid for exact-host entries. Dev/staging extension modes bypass the

 The safelist is intentionally a fixed list, **NOT the full Tailwind catalog** to provide UI consistency and reduce bundle size. Anything beyond what is listed below will be missing from the platform stylesheet at runtime \u2014 the class will appear in your DOM but the corresponding CSS rule will not exist, and the style will silently no-op. In particular:
 
 - **Arbitrary values are NOT supported** in general (e.g. \`w-[123px]\`, \`bg-[#1a1a1a]\`, \`text-[15px]\`). The single exception is \`aspect-[9/16]\` (portrait video). For any other arbitrary value, use the named utility closest to your target.
-- **Off-list color shades** (e.g. \`bg-cyan-500\`, \`text-rose-500\`) are not pre-emitted. The supported color set below is curated for visual consistency with the host theme.
+- **Off-list color shades** (e.g. \`bg-cyan-500\`, \`text-rose-500\`) are not pre-emitted. The supported color set below is curated for visual consistency with the embedding application's theme.
