nested _groupHover is not working as expected

Description

Hey,

First of all and to be honest, I'm not sure this is a bug but I will open the issue to see if this expected to work or not.

so I have a button styles with cva and the buttons has slots such as __stateLayer to maintain the background.

now what I'm trying to do is to set the opacity on groupHover to a certain value.

I see the css is generated but for some reason it's not working at all

here is the code for the cva function:

export const buttonStyle = cva({
  base: {
    position: 'relative',
    '& :is(.__stateLayer)': {
      position: 'absolute',
      inset: '0',
    },

    '& .__stateLayer': {
      opacity: {
        base: '0',
        // _hover: '0.8',
        _groupHover: '0.8',
        _groupFocusVisible: '0.90',
        _groupActive: '0.95',
      },
      bg: 'transparent',
    },
  },
  variants: {
    variant: {
      filled: {
        bgColor: 'primary',
        color: 'on.primary',
      },
      outline: {
        color: 'primary',

        '& .__stateLayer': {
          bg: 'primary',
        },
      },
    },
  },
  defaultVariants: {
    variant: 'outline',
  },
});

However setting _hover directly and then the selector works like this:

    _hover: {
      '& .__stateLayer': {
        opacity: '0.8',
      },
    },

or setting _groupHover on the span it self also works

  <styled.span
        className='__stateLayer'
        // THIS ALSO WORKS
        _groupHover={{
          opacity: '0.8',
        }}
      />

So would you say it's a bug or I'm doing some wrong inside my code?

one more general question, how would you deal with slots or parts? multiple cva functions? or the same as what I did above?
