The Rails `assets:precompile` task internally calls `bin/rails tailwindcss:build`, which uses hardcoded input/output file paths. Previously, the only way to customize these paths was to bypass the Rails integration entirely and use the Tailwind CLI directly (via `bundle exec tailwindcss`). This change introduces TAILWINDCSS_INPUT_FILE and TAILWINDCSS_OUTPUT_FILE environment variables that allow users to override the default paths while still using the standard `assets:precompile` workflow. This is useful for projects with non-standard asset structures or when integrating with custom build pipelines.
