Fixes the misaligned focus outline on the Support link in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory.

When navigating to a plugin's Support link using the keyboard, the focus outline appears incorrectly, with no right border and extra left padding.

This change corrects the focus styling to ensure the outline is properly aligned.

Meta Track ticket: Fixes https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8441

Summary by CodeRabbit

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The plugin theme renames client/style.scss to client/main.scss, removes the theme JavaScript entry from webpack configuration, and adjusts desktop and mobile spacing for #link-support.

Changes

Plugin theme updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update webpack entries
wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/pub/wporg-plugins-2024/webpack.config.js, wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/pub/wporg-plugins-2024/client/main.scss
The webpack comment now describes adding only the global stylesheet to discovered block entries. The theme JavaScript entry is removed, and the stylesheet entry remains. The stylesheet is renamed from client/style.scss to client/main.scss.
Adjust support-link styles
wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/pub/wporg-plugins-2024/client/components/plugin/style.scss
The #link-support link uses symmetric horizontal padding and a negative right margin on desktop. Its right margin is zero in the mobile layout.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: obenland

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 60c01

The theme styles remain included, and the support-link spacing changes are limited to the intended alignment. No concrete merge-blocking risk is evident.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 60c01

The change appears limited to theme styling and build output. No new credential or authorization path was found, but deployment and cache behavior for the removed JavaScript asset remains unconfirmed.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The supported exposure is theme assets served to Plugin Directory visitors, potentially through the CDN; the inspected runtime consumer provides no path from the removed entry to additional privilege.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Confirm that asset publication and rollback account for cached pages or artifacts that might still reference the removed JavaScript entry, alongside the versioned stylesheet.

Sorry for these colors. I'm on my desktop. These changes are good. Thanks for fixing.

  • padding-right: 1.25rem; is now declared twice.
  • I don't know why you delete the JS.

My opinion:
When we use it without margin-right: -1.25rem;, the support button is well aligned with the live preview button.
With it, we get an overflow to the right.
