Comment (by noruzzaman):

 == Test Report

 Patch tested: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/11070

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 7.0-beta2-20260226.234351
 - PHP: 7.4.33
 - Server: PHP.wasm
 - Database: WP_SQLite_Driver (Server: 8.0.38 / Client: 3.51.0)
 - Browser: Chrome 145.0.0.0
 - OS: macOS
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.4
 - MU Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * Test Reports 1.2.1

 === Steps taken
 1. Inspect Admin Help menu colors using Dev Tools.
 2. Notice active tab with old border-left color of #72aee6.
 3. Apply the patch from [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/11070 11070].
 4. Compile assets using 'npm run build'.
 5. Inspect the element and confirm the new border-left color of var(--wp-
 admin-theme-color).


 === Expected result
 - We expect to see the new CSS variable --wp-admin-theme-color instead of
 the hardcoded color value.

 === Actual Results
 Patch is solving the problem. The active help tab now correctly uses the
 admin theme color variable.
