I tried adding a fallback value, and when I do that, my custom fallback value prevents the system from adding a build-time generated fallback value. I understand it's the expected behavior, so I guess the PR works as expected :) |

What?
Removes hardcoded fallback values from
var(--wpds-*)usages in@wordpress/bootcomponent styles.Why?
Design token fallbacks are injected automatically at build time by the PostCSS plugin in
@wordpress/theme. Having manual fallbacks in source is redundant and can drift out of sync with the token definitions.This is a preparatory step for adding a stylelint rule (#76415) that disallows manual fallbacks for
--wpds-*tokens.How?
Straightforward removal of the second argument from
var()calls, e.g.:Testing Instructions
npm run build && npm run wp-env startadmin.php?page=site-editor-v2).The build step should inject the same fallback values that were previously hardcoded, so there should be no visible difference.
