Research direction
The issue names no file, test, or entry point; begin by tracing the shared page layout and navigation used by the cloud.gov Stratos dashboard. Add a first-focusable skip-to-main-content path, then verify with keyboard navigation that users can bypass repeated blocks and reach the main content.
