Looks like no one knows or cares. Anyhow, I figured it out…if you’re using the latest TailwindCSS 4.1.x, add the following to the top of your /assets/css/app.css file and you’re good to go:
/* new style for importing tailwindcss 4*/
@import "tailwindcss";
/* Load plugins you placed in assets/vendor */
@plugin "../vendor/heroicons.js";
@plugin "../vendor/daisyui.js";
@plugin "../vendor/daisyui-theme.js";
