The inline CSS in PHP files is not linted #807
Description
#550's coding-standards criterion is unchecked partly because nothing lints the CSS, while @wordpress/scripts already ships stylelint with WordPress's config, so a lint:css script and a CI step are all it takes.
Running it on the stylesheets today finds one problem:
$ npx wp-scripts lint-style "plugins/presence-api/assets/css/*.css"
plugins/presence-api/assets/css/stale-screen.css
15:2 ✖ Expected empty line before comment comment-empty-line-before
Tasks
-
lint:cssinpackage.json, runningwp-scripts lint-styleonplugins/presence-api/assets/css/ - Fix the one problem above
- Run it in CI beside
lint:js - Decide whether the inline CSS in
post-list.php,admin-bar.phpand the two widget classes moves into stylesheets so it is linted too, or stays inline and unlinted
Part of #550.

@josephfusco @huzaifaalmesbah #811 covered everything here except the inline CSS question.
I'd propose to move it into stylesheets. The four blocks in
admin-bar.php,post-list.phpand the two widget classes are plain strings with nothing dynamic in them, so they can go intoassets/css/unchanged and get picked up bylint:css.josephfusco commentedon Oct 12, 2026
Agreed, move the four blocks into

I'm picking this up and moving inline CSS to stylesheets.
