Description

What type of issue is this?

Incorrect support data (example: BrowserX says "86" but support was added in "40")

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The compatibility table says clip-path Is animatable is not supported on Safari, but it appears to be supported when I test in Safari 17.2.1.

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

No response

What did you expect to see?

I expected a CSS transition not to work on a clip-path on Safari, but it worked.

Did you test this? If so, how?

I tested with the following codepen:
https://codepen.io/yaphi1/pen/QWPmJoE?editors=0110

Clicking on the shadowy area moves the spotlight to a random location. The transition works smoothly on safari even though the compatibility table says is animatable isn't supported for clip-path.

Can you link to any release notes, bugs, pull requests, or MDN pages related to this?

No response

Do you have anything more you want to share?

Unfortunately I don't know which version of Safari this started working in. All I have is that it's working in 17.2.1.

Research direction

Start with the MDN clip-path page and the linked CodePen, reproducing the reported transition in Safari 17.2.1. Trace the compatibility data for css.properties.clip-path and determine the Safari version where the “Is animatable” status changed. Done means the data reflects verified Safari support and its validation checks pass.
