## Summary
Remove Tailwind `@apply` from Vue styles across `src/` and
`apps/desktop-ui/src/` to align with Tailwind v4 guidance, replacing
usages with template utilities or native CSS while preserving behavior.
## Changes
- **What**:
- Batch 1: migrated low-risk template/style utility bundles out of
`@apply`.
- Batch 2: converted PrimeVue/`:deep()` override `@apply` blocks to
native CSS declarations.
- Batch 3: converted `src/components/node/NodeHelpContent.vue` markdown
styling from `@apply` to native CSS/token-based declarations.
- Batch 4: converted final desktop pseudo-element `@apply` styles and
removed stale `@reference` directives no longer required.
- Verified `rg -n "^\s*@apply\b" src apps -g "*.vue"` has no real CSS
`@apply` directives remaining (only known template false-positive event
binding in `NodeSearchContent.vue`).
## Review Focus
- Visual parity in components that previously depended on `@apply` in
`:deep()` selectors and markdown content:
- topbar tabs/popovers, dialogs, breadcrumb, terminal overrides
- desktop install/dialog/update/maintenance surfaces
- node help markdown rendering
- Confirm no regressions from removal of now-unneeded `@reference`
directives.
## Screenshots (if applicable)
- No new screenshots included in this PR.
- Screenshot Playwright suite was run with `--grep="@screenshot"` and
reports baseline diffs in this environment (164 passed, 39 failed, 3
skipped) plus a teardown `EPERM` restore error on local path
`C:\Users\DrJKL\ComfyUI\LTXV\user`.
