Code Review
This pull request refactors the keyboard navigation for dropdown-related components to align with W3C accessibility patterns. It introduces a new focus management system using an ix-focusable class and a global listener to apply ix-focused styles, replacing the previous ArrowFocusController. A new showChange event is added to dropdowns to allow cancellation before showing. The changes are extensive and touch upon core components, their styling, and framework-specific wrappers. My review focuses on potential issues like the use of !important in styles, an empty catch block that could hide errors, leftover debug code, and unclear documentation.

Code Review
This pull request introduces a significant refactoring of keyboard navigation and focus management, primarily for dropdown-related components, to align with W3C accessibility patterns. A custom focus-visible listener has been implemented to provide more control over focus styling, moving away from native :focus-visible. This is a substantial and positive change for accessibility. The refactoring touches many components, including dropdown, select, button, and avatar, with new properties and events to support the new focus model. The tests have been updated to reflect these changes. I've identified one critical issue and a couple of medium-severity issues that should be addressed.
