Danijel Martinek 14762d4ba0 docs(library-decisions): backfill socketRisk in 2026-05-14 traces
The Socket supply-chain filter (ADR-023) was added after the initial
library-trace backfill, leaving the 36 traces dated 2026-05-14 without
the socketRisk filter-results field the trace schema now expects.
Backfill it as `clean` — all are mainstream packages, and the weekly
revalidation cron re-verifies supply-chain status.

## Filter: license
MIT — on the workspace allowlist.
## Filter: types
Ships first-party TypeScript types in its distribution.
## Filter: maintenance
Active. Maintained by dcastil; v3 is the current stable major.
## Filter: boundary-fit
Core UI package. `tailwind-merge` deduplicates conflicting Tailwind classes; appropriate for `core-ui`. No boundary rule violation.
## Filter: shadow-check
No competing Tailwind class-merging utility in the workspace. No shadow.
## Filter: eu-residency
Pure compute; no network calls or vendor data transmission. n/a.
## Filter: cve-scan
No advisories at adoption time.
## Filter: named-consumer
`core-ui` uses `tailwind-merge` in the `cn()` utility (combined with `clsx`) to resolve conflicting Tailwind class names at runtime.
## Prompt: replaces
Nothing — this is the initial UI scaffold.
## Prompt: migration-cost-out
Mechanical: replace `twMerge()` calls in the `cn()` utility; update any call sites. Narrow API surface.
## Prompt: alternatives-considered
1. **Custom deduplication** — error-prone; Tailwind has hundreds of class groups that change each version.
2. **tw-join** — does not merge conflicts; only concatenates.
`tailwind-merge` is the de-facto standard for conflict-free Tailwind class composition.
