-// A stored `style` often carries a shorthand plus BLANK longhands

-// base-reset parity this test guards (same class as fix/bg-shorthand-longhand), so by
-// default the blanks are stripped from the loaded state to isolate the reset.
-// CANVAS_RAW=1 keeps the stored state verbatim (shows that bug's residue).
