Description

Describe the bug

within the +error.svelte, I have an import "error.css".

This error.css gets loaded on any normal page, regardless of the route. It seems to ALWAYS get injected.

The same even happens when i use a component within the +error.svelte and import it (i.e. i create a ErrorPage.svelte and use that within +error.svelte.

Even more annoyingly it gets loaded after the +layout.svelte's import 'main.css' .

Research direction

Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction, especially src/routes/+page.svelte, then inspect the referenced +error.svelte and +layout.svelte imports for error.css and main.css. Reproduce the normal-page load and compare stylesheet injection order; done means error.css is loaded only for the error route and does not override the normal layout stylesheet.
