Description

Following up with my comment...

$ lightningcss --version
1.0.0-alpha.34

What I would have expected is it to match the tag (with a small preference for without the v* but easy to manage with it if it's easier/cleaner)

$ lightningcss --version
1.16.0

This is blocking using the testers.testVersion for Nixpkgs @ https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/191453 because the version does not match the release tag version.

Research direction

Run lightningcss --version and compare its output with the release tag and the Nixpkgs testers.testVersion expectation. Trace the CLI's version-reporting entry point, then verify that the command reports the release version shown in the issue and remains compatible with the tag format.
