 Priority:  normal             |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  General            |    Version:  trunk
 Severity:  normal             |   Keywords:  needs-patch
  Focuses:  ui, accessibility  |
-------------------------------+-----------------------------
 **Actual Behavior**
 In src/wp-admin/plugin-editor.php at line 287, there is an opening `<li>`
 tag with role="treeitem" and other attributes, but it doesn't have any
 content directly inside it before the nested `<ul>` element, and there's
 no closing `</li>` tag.

 **Steps to Reproduce**
 1. Navigate to src/wp-admin/plugin-editor.php
 2. Look at line 287 where there's an opening `<li>` tag.
 3. Notice that there's no closing `</li>` tag for this element.

 **Expected Behavior**
 The `<li>` element should either have content before the nested `<ul>` or
 be properly closed with a `</li>` tag after the nested `<ul>` element.
 This would ensure proper HTML structure and accessibility compliance.


 **This issue is important to fix because:**
 1. It creates an invalid HTML structure.
 2. It may cause accessibility issues since the ARIA roles are being used.
 3. It could potentially cause rendering inconsistencies across browsers.
