Tailwind CSS v4 introduces a brand new CSS-first configuration model. Instead of relying on a Javascript config file, you define all your design tokens directly inside your CSS file using the new @theme directive.
@theme {
--color-primary-500: #5d87ff;
}
This improves build times and aligns with standard CSS variable practices.
