This is a known limitation for unknown Sass functions:

⚠️ Heads up!

Because any unknown function will be compiled to CSS, it’s easy to miss when you typo a function name. Consider running a CSS linter on your stylesheet’s output to be notified when this happens!

Stylelint's function-no-unknown rule can help with this. Local testing looks good, but we need to specify which functions to ignore, as it doesn't do this automatically. Currently, we only have 2 custom sass functions, so we can add coverage for this easily.

Keeping track of custom functions will be a manual process for now, but we may be able to automate this.
