Description
Carousel blocks need another look to fix some accessibility issues, to start:
- Pagination dots and next/prev arrows are lacking accessible names.
- Focus becomes lost at times when navigating via keyboard, especially backwards.
There are likely more issues to dig into here, but I just wanted to get an issue up while it was fresh.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Locate the Carousel block implementation and reproduce keyboard navigation, checking pagination dots and next/previous arrows for accessible names and focus loss, especially when navigating backwards. Done means those controls are named and focus remains usable throughout keyboard navigation, with additional findings addressed or documented.
