Research direction

Locate the styles and markup for the .tl-timenav element, then reproduce its focus state in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Check the existing keyboard-focus presentation against WCAG 2.4.7 and verify that the element has a clear visible focus indication in each browser without changing its keyboard behavior.
