We noticed that in the current alpha 34 release, the `package.json` file
of the `@tailwindcss/node` package only defines `tailwindcss` as a dev
dependency. This makes it very easy for version mismatches to happen
when a v3 version (or an earlier v4 alpha for that matter) was installed
in the same project:
```json

Furthermore, we were trying to fix issues where our integration test
setup could not install `tailwindcss@3` because of how we did pnpm
overrides.
This PR fixes this by:
- Ensuring every client that calls into `tailwindcss` core marks it as a
version-pinned dependency. You are still required to install
`tailwindcss` in your project along side a client (e.g.
`@tailwindcss/vite`) but we now only use your installed version for
importing the respective `.css` files. For the core logic, we are now
requiring each package to use `tailwindcss` at the same version. This
should help resolve issues like
https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/discussions/14652
- We tried to eliminate the dependency on `tailwindcss` from the
`@tailwindcss/upgrade` package. Unfortunately this is not possible to do
right now because we need to load the CSS files from v4 to create the
right environment. In a future version we could bundle the required CSS
files with `@tailwidncss/upgrade` but it doesn't seem necessary for now.
- We then changed our integration test overrides to only override the
`tailwindcss` package that are dependencies of the known list of
packages that we have `tailwindcss` dependencies on: `@tailwindcss/node`
and `@tailwindcss/upgrade`. This ensures that we can install v3 of
`tailwindcss` in the integration tests and it will work. Something we
want to do for some upgrade tests.
# Test plan
Integration work again. Furthermore we added a quick setup with the CLI
using the local tarballs and ensured it works:
```bash
pnpm init
pnpm install ../../tailwindcss/dist/tailwindcss-cli.tgz
pnpm install ../../tailwindcss/dist/tailwindcss.tgz
echo '@import "tailwindcss";' > index.css
echo '<div class="underline"></div>' > index.html
pnpm tailwindcss -i index.css -o out.css
cat out.css
