| Improved the Tailwind parser's ability to recover from parsing failures. Whitespace now always allows the parser to recover and start parsing a new class. |

Correct the release note's scope.
“Whitespace now always allows” overstates the implementation. ParseRecoveryTokenSet keeps whitespace recovery disabled by default, and only selected Tailwind recovery boundaries enable it.
As per coding guidelines, documentation must explain current behaviour and contracts.
Proposed wording
-Improved the Tailwind parser's ability to recover from parsing failures. Whitespace now always allows the parser to recover and start parsing a new class.
+Improved the Tailwind parser's ability to recover from parsing failures. Selected recovery boundaries can now stop at preceding whitespace, so a following class can be parsed independently.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Add a variant whitespace-recovery regression test. When parse_variant fails before a whitespace-separated candidate, exercise VariantList::recover and assert that the next candidate remains separate. No current fixture covers this path.

I think it's important to understand which spaces fall under the real definition of trivia and which don't. From your comment, I understand that some spaces do matter and they do; in that case, they shouldn't be lexed as trivia but as full-fledged tokens. |

I remember trying that before and it going poorly, but maybe I can try it again |

Summary
This replicates the recover-on-newline feature for parser recovery, and allows parsers to recover on whitespace. This allows the tailwind parser to recover a bit better.
The alternative is for the tailwind parser to treat whitespace as newlines, and that seems like it would be janky. However, it could make sense, because spaces are "semi-trivia", because they define where classes end, but it doesn't matter how many there are.
In addition, I fixed some more recovery related bugs that I found along the way.
