Duplicate Property Detection
Duplicate property detection prevents overrides from happening within the same ruleset. Overrides of this nature are generally more accidental than intensional, for example:
<section className="hero">
background: ivory;
display: flex;
background: coral;
</section>
In the example above the background
property has been defined twice within the same ruleset. A compile time error catches the duplicate property and throws the following:

It should be noted that if a property partially overrides another property in the same ruleset a partial override error is thrown:
<h1 className="heading">
margin: 0px;
color: dimgray;
margin-bottom: 10px;
</h1>
In the example above both margin
and margin-bottom
have been used. Since the longhand property margin-bottom
overrides the shorthand property margin
a partial override error is thrown:
