Omit CSS properties that already match their defaults
Omit CSS defaults only after verifying that the declaration is not an intentional cascade reset and its removal preserves layout.

Bad example
Old codecss
| 1 | .row { display: flex; flex-direction: row; } |
Explanation (EN)
A verified default can be omitted, but resetting a competing declaration is observable behavior.

Good example
New codecss
| 1 | .row { display: flex; } |
Explanation (EN)
The verified initial direction remains unchanged.

Notes (EN)
Remove an explicit CSS default only when no lower-priority selector, inherited behavior, breakpoint or component variant needs that declaration to reset another value.
Exceptions / Tradeoffs (EN)
Keep intentional cascade resets. width:auto and width:100% are not generally interchangeable, and form controls may have intrinsic widths.
