Crazy idea: could we use this client id to instead inject a style in the DOM like #block-clientid :has(.ist-sticky.is-selected) { outline: 1px solid grey} or whatever?

Oh, that is a clever idea — I can't remember why exactly, but I think from memory there was a preference to try to use popovers so that we don't accidentally collide with any styles that a theme might have for a particular block. It could be to ensure that the visualizers / popover always displays its CSS styling in addition to whatever might be set on the parent block (that we can't quite know) rather than overriding anything. Worth playing with though!

I picked outline because it's very unlikely that it gets used for block styling, as it's mostly a property applied on focus. Though if the popover calculations are performant I suppose it's not really an issue.

const stickyHelpText =
allowSticky && value === 'sticky' && blockInformation
allowSticky && value === STICKY_OPTION.value && blockInformation
? sprintf(
/* translators: %s: the name of the parent block. */
