Drop the inset blue focus ring on text fields - #272
Conversation
Chromium treats a click in the composer as :focus-visible, so the global accent outline sat as a sharp rectangle inside the rounded input card. Buttons still keep the keyboard focus ring.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The CSS change can hide keyboard focus indicators on checkboxes, radios, sliders, file inputs, and other non-text controls, making keyboard navigation harder and potentially inaccessible. The selector should be limited to text fields before merging. Possibly related PRs

Scope the reset to text fields.
This selector matches every input, not only text inputs. Because it also matches :focus-visible, it removes the keyboard focus indicator from checkboxes, radios, range controls, file inputs, and other controls without the text-field focus:border-* replacement. Scope this rule to the text-field class or explicit text input types, and retain a visible :focus-visible style for other controls.

What changed
Stop painting a sharp blue rectangle inside the composer (and other text fields) on click.
Chromium treats a pointer click on
input/textarea/selectas:focus-visible, so the global accent outline sat inset inside the rounded composer card. Those fields already have their ownfocus:border-*. Buttons still keep the keyboard:focus-visiblering.Why
Clicking the composer drew a 2px accent rectangle with square corners inside the pill. It looked like a broken focus state, not a keyboard affordance.
How it was verified
Clicked the composer, settings fields, and model-picker search on macOS. No inset blue rectangle; Tab to a button still shows the accent ring.
Screenshots (UI changes)
Server/UI CSS only. The before state is a blue rectangle inside the composer pill on click; after, the pill border is unchanged.
