#65321: Global --wp--style--border--color Variable Applies Unwanted border-style:
solid to Cover Block Background Span

 Priority:  normal         |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  General        |    Version:  7.0

---------------------------+-----------------------------
 The global styles output is applying a default border-style: solid rule to
 the Cover block background element even when no border is defined.

 As shown in the screenshot, the following element receives the style:

 <span aria-hidden="true"
         class="wp-block-cover__background has-accent-2-background-color
 has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim">
 </span>

 Because border-style: solid is applied globally, browsers render an
 unwanted border even when only the border color variable exists.

 Steps to Reproduce:

 Create a page with a Cover block.
 Apply a background color or dim overlay.
 Do not set any border manually.
 Inspect the .wp-block-cover__background element.
 Notice inherited/global border-style: solid causing visible border
 rendering.
