Re: [developer-signals] weekly digest

The AI summary was missing from the original email. Here it is:

JPEG XL continues to lead developer interest with 12 new upvotes, while
Temporal and Anchor positioning maintain their steady momentum as top-tier
priorities. New feedback for the attr() function and @function suggests
these features are critical for reducing CSS boilerplate and managing
dynamic anchor-name values without compromising CSP through inline styles.
Notable activity from Airbnb developers across Masonry, shape(), and
Element-scoped
view transitions underscores a demand for more sophisticated layout and
motion primitives. Meanwhile, hidden="until-found" sparked a technical
discussion regarding its implementation, with developers noting that the
transition of the hidden property from a boolean to a union type has
introduced breaking changes in TypeScript codebases.
