+/**
+ * Post-build step: scope the `bk-utilities` cascade layer to this package's
+ * own roots so its ~1485 generic Tailwind utilities apply only under
+ * `.bk-root` / `.bk-portal-content` (and their descendants), never to the
+ * whole host document.
+ *
+ * Runs after `tailwindcss --minify` (see the `build:css` script). We parse the
+ * compiled stylesheet, find the single `@layer bk-utilities { … }` block, and
+ * wrap its rules in `@scope (.bk-root, .bk-portal-content) { … }`:
+ *
+ *   @layer bk-utilities {
+ *     @scope (.bk-root, .bk-portal-content) { …utilities… }
+ *   }
+ *
+ * `@scope` bare selectors match the scope root *and* its subtree, so
+ * `.bk-root`'s own utilities (`flex h-full …`) still resolve — a plain
+ * descendant-combinator wrap would miss the root elements. `bk-theme` (CSS
+ * custom properties) and Tailwind's `properties` layer stay global; vars don't
+ * collide.
+ *
+ * We parse structure (not regex) so the already-minified input stays safe;
+ * postcss preserves each rule's minified raws, so no re-minify step is needed.
