Backport of #7850 to the 18.x.x branch.
Centralizes focus-state management to ensure visual consistency and resolve accessibility (a11y) issues with missing visible focus on interactive components. Focus indicators appear only during keyboard navigation via
:focus-visible.Changes
extras/focus.less(new): adds the.universal-focus-style()mixin (single source of truth for focus indicators) and global:focus-visiblerules — applied to interactive elements, inputs, Semantic UI checkboxes and skiplinks. Contenteditable/slate editors are excluded (text cursor already implies focus).extras/main.less: importsfocus.less.extras/skiplinks.less: removes the localborder/outlineon:focus(now centralized).globals/site.variables: adds@innerFocusShadow(#fff) and@outerFocusOutline(#000) for the dual-ring high-contrast strategy.Notes for review
.skiplinks-wrapper a:focus-visible(v19 PR used.skiplinks a, which does not match the DOM).2px solidinstead of the v19 PR'sauto, for a crisp, consistent width across browsers.
