There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thank you. As suggested in the issue, the better fix here is to use :not(:has()) instead.

Summary
Clarifies the limitation of the
.abc:has(+ :not(.xyz))analogy in the negative lookahead section of the:has()documentation. Unlike a regular-expression negative lookahead, the selector does not match when there is no following element.Related issue
Closes #45038
