New description:
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.
