script-loader 'colors' src true invalid argument

[kkmuffme]

​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/trunk/src/wp-includes/script-loader.php#L1587

<?php
$styles->add( 'colors', true, array( 'wp-admin', 'buttons' ) );

true is not a valid 2nd argument for add, string|false expected.

Thank you for reporting this issue.

After testing, I found that changing true to false or an empty string breaks the admin color scheme functionality.

Upon closer inspection of wp_style_loader_src(), it appears the current implementation expects $src to be a truthy value for the 'colors' handle to properly process it through parse_url(). ​See this

While technically true doesn't match the expected string|false type, it's a historical implementation detail that's working in practice. I think it's best to document this behavior rather than changing it for backward compatibility.
