Describe your issue

When building, Tailwind CSS v4 does not detect SvelteKit's src/app.html file:

app.html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" class="bg-black">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <link rel="icon" href="%sveltekit.assets%/favicon.png" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
    %sveltekit.head%
  </head>
  <body data-sveltekit-preload-data="hover" class="bg-red-500">
    <div style="display: contents">%sveltekit.body%</div>
  </body>
</html>
Dev server

While this is easily fixable by adding @source "app.html"; to your css file where tailwind is being loaded (in this case, src/app.css), I feel like tailwind should automatically include it when building like it does in the dev server.

I've also made a minimal repro: https://github.com/DarthGigi/tailwind-v4-app-html-mvce
