Description

This PR restores visible keyboard focus indicators across the Layer5 site. It replaces unconditional focus-outline suppression with :focus-visible-aware styling and introduces a consistent, theme-aware global focus ring.

Changes

  • Added a global keyboard-visible focus outline using the theme’s secondary color.
  • Limited outline suppression to :focus:not(:focus-visible).
  • Removed unconditional outline: none rules from interactive controls.
  • Updated focus behavior for accordions, carousels, search fields, navigation controls, callout cards, workshop buttons, and modals.
  • Kept hover styling separate from keyboard focus styling.

Impact

Keyboard users can clearly identify the currently focused element in both light and dark themes. Mouse and touch interactions remain visually unchanged.

Validation

  • ESLint passed for all changed files.
  • git diff --check passed.
  • DCO check passed.
  • Verified that the final signed commits preserve the original code changes.

Fixes #7959

Summary by CodeRabbit

    • Restored default focus indicators for several interactive controls and inputs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The update changes focus outline styling across global, modal, component, and section styles. Non-visible focus can suppress outlines, while keyboard-visible focus retains or receives visible outlines. Several explicit outline: none declarations were removed.

Changes

Focus outline accessibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Global focus styling
src/sections/app.style.js
Global and modal focus rules now suppress outlines only when focus is not :focus-visible. Global keyboard-visible focus receives a themed, offset outline.
Component focus selectors
src/collections/handbook/faq/faq-wrapper.style.js, src/reusecore/Accordion/accordion.style.js, src/components/Features-carousel/FeaturesCarousel.style.js, src/components/Ripple-Effect-Animation/ripple-effect.style.js, src/sections/Adventures-Callout/discuss.style.js, src/sections/Blog/Blog-sidebar/blogSidebar.style.js, src/sections/Discuss-Callout/discuss.style.js, src/sections/General/Faq/faqSection.style.js
Accordion, carousel, ripple, and card focus selectors now exclude :focus-visible states.
Remaining outline suppression removal
src/reusecore/Search/searchbox.style.js, src/sections/DeployServiceMesh/DeployServiceMesh.style.js, src/sections/General/Navigation/navigation.style.js, src/sections/Home/So-Special-Section/so-special-style.js, src/sections/Learn/Workshop-grid/WorkshopsGrid.style.js, src/sections/Projects/Sistent/sistent.style.js
Explicit outline: none declarations were removed from search inputs, sliders, toggles, and buttons.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b0bfd

The change restores keyboard focus indicators, but a localized callout-card styling case may still hide the focus ring when the focused card is hovered, reducing focus visibility for keyboard users. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up for this bounded accessibility issue.

LGTM 🦖 , The :focus-visible approach keeps mouse interactions clean while restoring a clear focus indicator for keyboard navigation. The component-level changes also follow the same pattern consistently. I don't see any blocking issues. I Approve.

Should this follow the same &:focus:not(:focus-visible) pattern as the other files here? Right now it's just deleted, so the default outline will show on mouse click too, and stack with the box-shadow on input:focus below.

Similar to the searchbox.style.js change — outline: none was removed entirely from .slider instead of being scoped with :focus:not(:focus-visible). Since this is a custom-styled range input, the default outline will now appear on both mouse and keyboard interaction. Should this too follow the same :focus-visible pattern as the other files in this PR?

outline: none removed from .special-cont_btn. Intentional?

This removal is intentional. GlobalStyle already applies outline: none to *:focus:not(:focus-visible) and adds the themed 3px outline to *:focus-visible. Since GlobalStyle is mounted in Layout, adding the same rule locally would duplicate the behavior. Keyboard focus remains visible while non-keyboard focus does not show an outline.

Thanks for clarifying — confirmed, app.style.js now sets *:focus:not(:focus-visible) and *:focus-visible globally, so removing the local outline: none here correctly lets the global rule apply.
LGTM!
