Description

Some elements, namely buttons and form fields, get a colored halo when they receive focus. There are a few different styles defined in https://github.com/mozilla/protocol/blob/main/assets/sass/protocol/includes/forms/_index.scss#L31-L35

We should unify focus styles for consistency across elements, and probably prefer opaque token colors rather than mixing or transparent. We may still want a different color for light and dark themes.

Research direction

Start in assets/sass/protocol/includes/forms/_index.scss at lines 31-35 and compare the focus styles applied to buttons and form fields. Identify the existing ring styles and colors, then define the consistency goal for light and dark themes and opaque token usage. Done means the affected elements use unified focus styling without losing theme-specific needs.
