Vite 7 incompatible with @tailwindcss/vite due to strict peer dependency (^5.2.0 || ^6)

[code-pankaj]

Describe the bug

The @tailwindcss/vite plugin currently declares a peer dependency of "vite": "^5.2.0 || ^6".

With the release of vite@7.0.0, any attempt to install Tailwind's official Vite plugin in a fresh Vite 7 project fails due to a dependency resolution error:

ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
peer vite@"^5.2.0 || ^6" from @tailwindcss/vite@4.1.10

This breaks compatibility with the current npm create vite@latest workflow.

If the plugin is compatible with Vite 7, the peer dependency needs to be updated. If not yet tested, it might help to clarify compatibility in the docs or postpone release adoption.

I’m happy to test or help with a PR once compatibility is confirmed.
