perf(build): the stylesheet minifier had never run

It looked for the tag written as `css` immediately followed by a
backtick. The plugin is a Rollup transform, so the module has already
been through TypeScript by the time it arrives, and the TS printer puts
a space there: `css `. The guard therefore returned null for every
stylesheet in the project, and minification never ran once — around
23 KB of explanatory comments went to every user in every release.

Matching the tag as a word with optional whitespace turns it on:

  chunk, raw       1 079 508 -> 1 021 115 B   (-58 393)
  initial view     300 111 -> 287 284 B gzip  (-12 816)
  room to the budget   955 -> 13 782 B

The ceiling moves down with the fact, as the tool asks when a graph
shrinks past the band.

The risk is not the two lines; it is that 23 KB of CSS is minified for
the first time. Two witnesses cover it: a browser smoke that puts the
original and the minified text into separate stylesheets and compares
the serialised rules — 1 049 of them, identical up to the whitespace
policy the minifier declares — and a test that takes real comment text
out of src/styles and requires it to be absent from dist, so a plugin
that silently stops working cannot pass again.

 ## Unreleased
 
+- The card downloads 12.8 KB less on a cold start. The stylesheet minifier had
+  never actually run — it looked for its tag written one way and the build hands
+  it another — so every explanatory comment inside the stylesheets was shipped
+  to the browser. Nothing looks or behaves differently; the plan simply arrives
+  sooner ([#526](https://github.com/Matysh/houseplan-card/issues/526)).
+
 - The plan is smooth again in Firefox. A device marker's shadow is sized from
   the marker, which is sized from the container, so anything that changed the
   container width — a tooltip, a scrollbar, a rotation — restarted a shadow

 ## Не выпущено
 
+- Карточка скачивается на 12,8 КБ меньше при холодном старте. Минификатор
+  таблиц стилей не работал ни разу — он искал свой тег в одном написании, а
+  сборка отдаёт его в другом, — поэтому все пояснительные комментарии из стилей
+  уезжали в браузер. Внешне и по поведению не меняется ничего, план просто
+  появляется раньше ([#526](https://github.com/Matysh/houseplan-card/issues/526)).
+
 - План снова плавный в Firefox. Тень маркера устройства считается от размера
   маркера, а он — от ширины контейнера, поэтому всё, что эту ширину меняло —
   подсказка, полоса прокрутки, поворот экрана, — заново запускало анимацию

+## The stylesheet minifier sees TypeScript output, not the source (#526)
+
+`scripts/css-template-minifier.mjs` runs as a Rollup transform, and by then the
+module has already been through TypeScript. The TS printer puts a space between
+a tag and its template, so the source `css`…`` arrives as `css `…``.
+
+The plugin used to look for the exact string `css` + backtick and therefore
+returned `null` for every stylesheet in the project: minification never ran
+once, and roughly 23 KB of explanatory comments were shipped to every user —
+12.8 KB gzipped in the initial chunk.
+
+Two consequences for anyone touching this area:
+
+- match the tag as a word followed by optional whitespace, never as a literal
+  two-character string;
+- the guard that keeps this honest is not inside the plugin but in
+  `test/bundle-assets.test.mjs`: it takes real comment text out of
+  `src/styles/*.ts` and asserts none of it appears in `dist/**`. A plugin that
+  silently stops working cannot pass it.
