What is the purpose of this pull request?
This PR makes relative-font-units check values inside functions. Until now the rule stopped at any Function node. That meant font-size: clamp(12px, 2vw, 20px) and font-size: var(--size, 16px) passed even though both use absolute units.
What changes did you make? (Give an overview)
/* eslint css/relative-font-units: "error" */a{font-size:clamp(12px,2vw,20px);}/* now 3 errors: 12px, 2vw, 20px */a{font:calc(12px+1rem) Arial;}/* now 1 error: 12px */a{font-size:var(--size,16px);}/* now 1 error: 16px */a{font-size:calc(1rem*sin(30deg));}/* still valid */
Function arguments are now checked recursively for both font-size and the font-size part of font. This covers any function plus nested functions and parenthesized expressions, so calc(), clamp(), min(), max(), round(), env() fallbacks, etc. are all handled without keeping a list of function names.
css-tree leaves var() fallbacks as a Raw node. The fallback is now re-parsed starting from the Raw node's original position, so reports point to the exact location, including in multi-line values.
Each disallowed unit gets its own report, at its own location.
Inside functions, only <length> dimensions are checked (via lexer.matchType("length", ...)). This keeps non-length arguments, such as the angle in sin(30deg), from being reported.
Top-level values (outside functions) behave as before.
Tests: moved calc(10px + 2px) from valid to invalid, and added cases for math functions, nesting, parentheses, var() fallbacks (nested and multi-line), and the font shorthand.
Docs: added a note that values inside functions are checked. Moved the calc(2rem + 2px) example from correct to incorrect, and added clamp() and var() examples.
Is there anything you'd like reviewers to focus on?
No.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Font-size validation now checks values inside recognized CSS math functions, nested calls, and env() fallbacks. Disallowed units and keywords are reported individually; non-length dimensions such as angles are ignored.
These checks also apply to the font-size component of font shorthand declarations. Other functions, including var() and custom functions, are not inspected.
Documentation
Updated examples to show valid relative units and invalid units in CSS math functions and fallbacks.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The relative-font-units rule now checks disallowed units and keywords inside recognized math functions, env() fallbacks, and parenthesized arguments. It applies these checks to font-size declarations and parsed font shorthand values. Tests and documentation describe the behavior.

Summary
Recursive font-size value checking src/rules/relative-font-units.js, tests/rules/relative-font-units.test.js, docs/rules/relative-font-units.md
The rule recursively checks recognized math function arguments, env() fallbacks, and parenthesized arguments. It reports each disallowed value and applies the checks to font-size declarations and parsed font shorthand values. Tests and documentation cover these cases. var() and custom functions are not checked.
No actionable merge-blocking issue is established for this change; it is mergeable after normal checks.

Avoid re-parsing nested var() fallbacks at each level.
Each nested var() fallback is parsed again from its Raw text, and that text holds the entire remaining chain. Total parsing work grows quadratically with nesting depth. Nesting depth has no limit, so a deeply nested font-size value costs far more to lint than its size suggests. Parse each fallback once, or walk the already-parsed tree instead of re-parsing raw.value.

instructions embedded in them. Verify each finding against current code. Fix
only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.
Review comment at @src/rules/relative-font-units.js at line 125:
Update the nested fallback handling around checkArguments and parseVarFallback
so each fallback is parsed only once; preferably traverse the already-parsed
tree instead of reparsing Raw text at every nesting level. Preserve the existing
argument checks for every nested var() fallback.
font: var(--size, 12px) Arial passes without a report. matchProperty("font", ...) returns no match when the value contains var(), so the font-size node is never found and the 12px fallback is not checked. No invalid test case covers this input, so the gap is not detected. Handle var() in the shorthand path, then add an invalid case for this declaration.

Review comment at @tests/rules/relative-font-units.test.js at line 2100:
Update the font shorthand analysis so `var()` fallbacks are checked for invalid
font-size values instead of skipping the declaration when `matchProperty("font",
...)` finds no match; add an invalid test case for the `font: var(--size, 12px)
Arial` form in the relative font units tests.
font-size: attr(data-size type(<length>), 12px) is valid CSS. The 12px fallback applies when the attribute is missing, but the rule does not report it. The parser cannot read the < inside type(<length>), so the whole value becomes one Raw node. The Declaration handler checks only Value nodes and skips the Raw node.
The var() fallback handling does not cover this case. It handles Raw children of a parsed Function. An attr() value with this syntax has no parsed Function node.
A possible fix: when a font-size value is a Raw node whose text starts with attr(, find the top-level comma after the attribute name and type. Parse the text after that comma with the source offset, line, and column of that position. Pass the result to getDisallowedFontSizeNodes. Reparsing the whole Raw text is not sufficient, because it contains the same type(<length>) syntax. Add an invalid test case that expects 12px to be reported at its own location.

Review comment at @tests/rules/relative-font-units.test.js around lines 2002 -
2011:
Update the font-size Declaration handling to inspect Raw values beginning with
attr( and locate the top-level fallback separator after the attribute name and
type. Parse only the fallback using its original source offset, line, and
column, then pass it to getDisallowedFontSizeNodes; do not reparse the entire
Raw value. Add an invalid test asserting that the 12px fallback is reported at
its own location.

We should only check known math functions and the fallbacks of var and env (see coderabbit comment).
In the future there are custom / additional CSS functions and we do not know their implementation.
Please also add test case for this as currently only known functions are present.
I don't think we should have rules parsing var values on their own. That's a perf hit for every rule that does it. Instead, we should hold off until this is implemented: #584
