A style block in an .astro file is scoped by adding a generated attribute to the elements in that component's template. Anything the component did not write itself is untouched: HTML produced by rendering Markdown, and DOM created by a hydrated island after load, will not match the scoped selectors.

Use the is:global directive on the style block, or the :global() selector on the specific rules, to reach that markup. Scoping styles to a wrapper and using :global inside it keeps the blast radius small.

Style and script tags are processed and bundled by default. The is:inline directive opts a tag out entirely, meaning it is left in the HTML as written and is not processed, bundled or deduplicated, which is what you want for a third party snippet and what surprises people who add is:inline to a script that imports a module.
