Research direction

Reproduce the missing focus behavior at call.element.io for the Join flow and rageshaking submission flow, then trace the relevant TypeScript UI components. Done means the happy-path button is focused by default, Enter activates it, and unhappy-path controls such as Close are not focused instead.
