Please stop inheriting the box-model. The supposed use-case for that is extremely out-dated, inheritance doesn't really help, and it actively makes real box-sizing use-cases more difficult! This #CSS best practice was never the best to begin with: www.oddbird.net/2025/09/04/b...

Happy to be a bit weird and only use `box-sizing` when I actually have a component that benefits from changing the defaults. Which is pretty rare. `* { … }` never sat right with me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
