Optimizing CSS size with @allxsmith/bestax-bulma

The JS side is tree-shakable (the entire library is ~49 KB min+gzip). The stylesheet is not: a prebuilt flavor ships all of Bulma + the bestax extras regardless of which components the app renders. Judge stylesheet weight by the gzipped transfer size — never the raw dist/ number.

Always measure first

Run the production build, then measure the built CSS — raw and gzip:

npm run build
wc -c dist/assets/*.css            # raw bytes (what Vite reports)
gzip -c dist/assets/*.css | wc -c  # transfer bytes (what users download)

Re-measure after every step below and report the before/after delta (raw + gzip). Never claim a saving without a number.
