Description

### Feature and its Use Cases

## Description
The navigation cards on the Overview page currently work only through mouse interaction. Users navigating with a keyboard cannot focus or activate these cards.

Since cards are implemented as clickable

elements, they are not native interactive elements, they:
- cannot receive keyboard focus
- cannot be activated using Enter or Space
- screen readers may not recognize these cards as interactive elements

### Expected Behavior:-

Navigation cards should:-
- be reachable using the Tab key
- show a visible focus state
- activate with Enter and Space

### Additional Context

_No response_

Research direction

Start at the Overview page and locate the navigation-card implementation. Check the current clickable div behavior, then verify that every card is reachable by Tab, shows a visible focus state, and activates with Enter and Space.
