What makes a good focus indicator?

Short interview answer

It must be clearly visible against adjacent colors, follow the actual focused control, survive high-contrast modes where possible, and not rely only on subtle color change. :focus-visible can avoid pointer-only rings without removing keyboard feedback.

Key takeaway

Explain the underlying mental model clearly, then support it with a concrete example and its trade-offs.
