What changed

  • Preserve visible focus indicators for keyboard navigation.
  • Limit outline suppression to elements focused without :focus-visible.
  • Remove unconditional outline: none declarations from interactive controls.
  • Add a theme-aware global focus ring and retain mouse-focus behavior for modal content.

Why

Several component styles suppressed focus outlines unconditionally, making keyboard focus difficult or impossible to identify. The updated selectors keep pointer interactions visually unchanged while restoring an accessible indicator for keyboard users.

Impact

Keyboard users receive a consistent, theme-aware focus ring across the affected controls. Pointer users should see no behavioral change.

Validation

  • ESLint passed for all 15 changed files.
  • Repository pre-commit lint completed successfully.
  • git diff --check passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Accessibility Improvements
    • Preserved visible focus outlines during keyboard navigation.
    • Added consistent, themed focus indicators with improved spacing.
    • Updated accordions, carousels, buttons, cards, dialogs, toggles, and search fields for clearer focus behavior.
    • Reduced unnecessary focus-outline removal for mouse and touch interactions.

📝 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 apply outline suppression 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: 🟡 Moderate · up to cc814

The stylesheet changes restore keyboard focus indicators broadly, but an affected card can still suppress that ring when it is hovered, leaving keyboard users without a reliable focus cue. This bounded accessibility issue should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.
