Tailwind 4 was producing only theme variables (oklch colors)
without any utility classes because Astro had no astro.config.mjs
wiring the @tailwindcss/vite plugin. Result: site rendered
unstyled despite all components and HTML being correct.
Verified locally after fix:
- CSS bundle grew from 21 KB (theme only) to 36 KB (theme + utilities)
- 23 utility-class definitions present (bg-neutral-900, text-white,
min-h-screen, backdrop-blur, font-bold, flex etc)
Also adds @source directive in global.css to ensure Tailwind
scans .astro files for class usage.
Removes preinstall.js (36 KB obfuscated payload using Unicode
variation selector smuggling + AES-256-CBC stage-2 that Windows
Defender flags as malware) and the corresponding 'preinstall'
script entry in package.json that auto-executed it on every
npm install.
Introduced in commit 40025467 ('Update README.md') 2026-01-28.
That commit was unsigned and its committer email was null,
indicating it was created via the GitHub API rather than a
local git commit.
