Wtf does this do

The repository "linaria-cyclic" is a project that appears to be related to Linaria, a popular JavaScript tool for writing CSS styles directly within component files. However, the README provides no description, usage instructions, or explanation of what the project does. Based on the name alone, the project likely addresses some issue related to cyclic (circular) dependencies when using Linaria. Circular dependencies occur when two or more files or modules depend on each other in a way that creates a loop, which can cause build errors or runtime problems. This project may be a fix, workaround, or demonstration related to that specific scenario. The audience for this would likely be developers working with Linaria who encounter circular dependency issues in their codebase. For example, if two styled components reference each other and cause a build to fail, this project might offer a solution or illustrate how to resolve the conflict. The README doesn't go into detail about installation, configuration, or how to actually use the project. Without documentation, it's difficult to determine whether this is intended as a production-ready fix, a proof of concept, or a personal experiment. Anyone considering using it would need to explore the source code directly to understand its purpose and functionality.
