 The command palette trigger button in the admin bar keeps visible focus
 styles (with midnight blue is quite visible) after the palette is closed,
 regardless of whether it's closed via mouse or keyboard.

 This creates confusion and suggests the button is in an active/focused
 state when it's not.

 We should keep the focus on that button when accessed/closed via keyboard,
 but probably need to rely on `:focus-visible`.
