Thanks, a minor comment about that below.

What we usually do in these cases is to put an assertion there, so
that if the condition we assume to always be true ever isn't, we are
informed about that in the most violent manner.

This is not a complete sentence.  I guess you meant something like

  * src/xdisp.c (note_tab_bar_highlight): Handle mouse-face property.

> * lisp/tab-bar.el: Add face tab-bar-tab-highlight.

Our usual style is a bit different:

  * lisp/tab-bar.el (tab-bar-tab-highlight): New face.

But I have a question: why add this face if there's no code that uses
it?  Or what did I miss?

Why does indention of the new code use 4 spaces, not 2?
