Research direction

Reproduce the issue using the dependency versions and styles.css shown, with both @import statements present. Compare the generated behavior for max-w-2xl with and without the flowbite import, focusing on whether it uses --container-2xl. Done means the combined imports no longer cause the inconsistent variable use.
