Originally I had kept this case-sensitive on purpose, because that's parity with stylelint --- but after reviewing other rules, I see that Biome doesn't respect that in other rules either; so I would be the wrong one doing so here. |

I haven't had the chance to get full context on this yet, but I don't think this is the right fix. I would expect this fix to be in the parser, not in the rule itself.
Which is entirely fair. The "proper" way would be a full level 2 parser, although that's a much more involved change. I can take a stab at that if we think it's the more appropriate approach. I will note however that this simple change was enough to silence the false positive, while still catching valid "unknown" values; so from what tests I could derive and the way that snapshots work in biome, it seemed to be an appropriate "enough" solution. Again though, I defer to you senior maintainers on what's correct :). |

[ Aside: How are you guys able to do more than a few changes a day when the project is over 80GB on disk and takes like 20 minutes to build? Bahaha. ] I have a modern CPU and 128GB of DDR5, but damn, this is a huge project. |
I have a laptop less powerful than yours, and it doesn't take me that much to build. Are you building with the release flag? That 80GB thing is not directly related to Biome. That's how cargo works, every build (check, test, etc ) might build new debug binaries. In Biome this gets exponential due to the number of crates. If you're running tests from the root, for the whole workspace, avoid that. Test, check and build the single crates. Leave the whole workspace to CI. |

It appears this rule doesn't work like our other |
Ahh okay! I'll do that. Yeah, making a proper parser would be great, as it would also catch mentions of other CSS class-names which literally don't exist in the project, but that's a substantial lift compared to the size of this specific bug. I mean, it's why we still use stylelint in our projects, in addition to biome,since those do all the heavy lifting on "is this a real class, is this class ever used" etc. |

But Mr. Bot, that was the change the maintainer requested... 🤣 |

Yeah, coderabbit can be a little silly sometimes. It doesn't necessarily have the full context for everything every time. |

It's not entirely wrong though. The plain view-transition does not accept arguments, according to the CSS specification. This being said, that's too much for this one PR. |
Summary
Fixes #11962.
The argument of
::view-transition-group(),::view-transition-image-pair(),::view-transition-old()and::view-transition-new()is a view transition name, not an element, but the rule reported every name exceptroot(#8382).After this change, the rule skips any type selector inside those four pseudo-elements, which is exactly what Stylelint's
selector-type-no-unknowndoes.Edit: Pseudo-element names are now matched case-insensitively (
::VIEW-TRANSITION-OLD(page))I kept the fix in the rule rather than the parser because Level 2 names can include classes (
page.card), which the custom identifier node used by::highlight()can't hold. It would also be too large a change for my first PR, and a rule-level fix keeps it small.Test Plan
Added spec cases for the rule:
valid.css: custom names (page,sidebar,Page) across the four pseudo-elements, pluspage.card,.cardand*. These fail without the change.invalid.css:unknown::view-transition-group(page)still reportsunknownbut notpage, and::cue(unknown)is still reported.just test-lintrule noUnknownTypeSelector,just fandjust lpass locally.Docs
No docs change. The rule has no options and its documented behavior is unchanged.
Results
Testing against the project which tripped this originally (Tailwind):
AI disclosure: Claude Code using Opus 5.5 identified the bug while working on one of my projects, offered multiple ways I could apply the fix, wrote the fix, tests and changeset, and ran the checks. I reviewed the approaches, selected this one, reviewed the diff and the snapshots before opening the PR, and wrote the PR body. Opus 5.5 then built a local preview build, and I tested it against my other projects to ensure the change held.
