What I’m doing

# 1 – I compile Tailwind myself
tailwindcss -i tailwind.css -o assets/tailwind.css --minify

# 2 – then bundle the app
NO_DOWNLOADS=1  dx bundle --platform web

• tailwind.css lives in the project root.
• The generated file goes to assets/tailwind.css.
• assets/tailwind.css is included in .gitignore since it's auto-generated file we generate it in CI pipeline and bake in the image

What happens
dx bundle starts Tailwind again, rewrites assets/tailwind.css, fingerprints the new bytes, and injects a link like

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/tailwind-dxhABC123.css">

Because my image still contains the first file, the browser asks for tailwind-dxhABC123.css and gets a 404.

Why it happens (looking at cli/src/tailwind.rs)

• The CLI autodetects Tailwind by checking for assets/tailwind.css.
• If that file exists, it always spawns the Tailwind CLI, even when I already built the CSS.

What I expect

• Autodetect should key off the root tailwind.css (or tailwind.config.*), not the compiled asset.
• If the compiled file already exists and is newer than the input, skip the extra run or let me turn it off
• Being able to disable tailwind-cli

Environment:
