* refactor(interfaces): Use typeof ... === 'function' to test for methods
Testing for
'name' in object
or
obj.name !== undefined
only checks for the existence of the property (and in the latter
case that the property is not set to undefined). That's fine if
the interface specifies a property of indeterminate type, but in
the usual case that the interface member is a method we can do
one better and check to make sure the property's value is
callable.
* refactor(interfaces): Always check obj is not null/undefined
Since most type predicates take an argument of type any but then
check for the existence of certain properties, explicitly check
that the argument is not null or undefined (or check implicitly
by calling another type predicate that does so first, which
necessitates adding a few casts because tsc infers the type of
the argument too narrowly).

* chore(tests): Add assertions verifying mocks conform to predicates
Add (test) runtime assertions that:
- isFocusableNode(MockFocusable) returns true
- isIcon(MockIcon) returns true
- hasBubble(MockBubbleIcon) returns true
- isCommentIcon(MockCommentIcon) returns true
(The latter is currently failing because Blockly is undefined when
isCommentIcon calls the MockCommentIcon's getType method.)
* fix(tests): Don't rely on Blockly being set in Mock methods
For some reason the global Blockly binding is not visible at the
time when isCommentIcon calls MockCommentIcon's getType method,
and presumably this problem would apply to getBubbleSize too,
so directly import the required items.
* refactor(tests): Make MockCommentIcon a MockBubbleIcon
This slightly simplifies it and makes it less likely to accidentally
stop conforming to IHasBubble.

Fix an error which caused ISelectable instances to fail
isSelectable() checks, one of the results of which is that
Blockly.common.getSelected() would generally return null.

Fixes https://github.com/google/blockly-keyboard-experimentation/issues/547
Fixes part of #8910
### Proposed Changes
Fives groups of changes are included in this PR:
1. Support for automatic tab index management for focusable trees.
2. Support for automatic tab index management for focusable nodes.
3. Support for automatically hiding the flyout when back navigating from the toolbox.
4. A fix for `FocusManager` losing DOM syncing that was introduced in #9082.
5. Some cleanups for flyout and some tests for previous behavior changes to `FocusManager`.
### Reason for Changes
Infrastructure changes reasoning:
- Automatically managing tab indexes for both focusable trees and roots can largely reduce the difficulty of providing focusable nodes/trees and generally interacting with `FocusManager`. This facilitates a more automated navigation experience.
- The fix for losing DOM syncing is possibly not reliable, but there are at least now tests to cover for it. This may be a case where a `try{} finally{}` could be warranted, but the code will stay as-is unless requested otherwise.
`Flyout` changes:
- `Flyout` no longer needs to be a focusable tree, but removing that would be an API breakage. Instead, it throws for most of the normal tree/node calls as it should no longer be used as such. Instead, its workspace has been made top-level tabbable (in addition to the main workspace) which solves the extra tab stop issues and general confusing inconsistencies between the flyout, toolbox, and workspace.
- `Flyout` now correctly auto-selects the first block (#9103 notwithstanding). Technically it did before, however the extra `Flyout` tabstop before its workspace caused the inconsistency (since focusing the `Flyout` itself did not auto-select, only selecting its workspace did).
Important caveats:
- `getAttribute` is used in place of directly fetching `.tabIndex` since the latter can apparently default to `-1` (and possibly `0`) in cases when it's not actually set. This is a very surprising behavior that leads to incorrect test results.
- Sometimes tab index still needs to be introduced (such as in cases where native DOM focus is needed, e.g. via `focus()` calls or clicking). This is demonstrated both by updates to `FocusManager`'s tests as well as toolbox's category and separator. This can be slightly tricky to miss as large parts of Blockly now depend on focus to represent their state, so clicking either needs to be managed by Blockly (with corresponding `focusNode` calls) or automatic (with a tab index defined for the element that can be clicked, or which has a child that can be clicked).
Note that nearly all elements used for testing focus in the test `index.html` page have had their tab indexes removed to lean on `FocusManager`'s automatic tab management (though as mentioned above there is still some manual tab index management required for `focus()`-specific tests).
### Test Coverage
New tests were added for all of the updated behaviors to `FocusManager`, including a new need to explicitly provide (and reset) tab indexes for all `focus()`-esque tests. This also includes adding new tests for some behaviors introduced in past PRs (a la #8910).
Note that all of the new and affected conditionals in `FocusManager` have been verified as having at least 1 test that breaks when it's removed (inverted conditions weren't thoroughly tested, but it's expected that they should also be well covered now).
Additional tests to cover the actual navigation flows will be added to the keyboard experimentation plugin repository as part of https://github.com/google/blockly-keyboard-experimentation/pull/557 (this PR needs to be merged first).
For manual testing, I mainly verified keyboard navigation with some cursory mouse & click testing in the simple playground. @rachel-fenichel also performed more thorough mouse & click testing (that yielded an actual issue that was fixed--see discussion below).
The core webdriver tests have been verified to have seemingly the same existing failures with and without these changes.
All of the following new keyboard navigation plugin tests have been verified as failing without the fixes introduced in this branch (and passing with them):
- `Tab navigating to flyout should auto-select first block`
- `Keyboard nav to different toolbox category should auto-select first block`
- `Keyboard nav to different toolbox category and block should select different block`
- `Tab navigate away from toolbox restores focus to initial element`
- `Tab navigate away from toolbox closes flyout`
- `Tab navigate away from flyout to toolbox and away closes flyout`
- `Tabbing to the workspace after selecting flyout block should close the flyout`
- `Tabbing to the workspace after selecting flyout block via workspace toolbox shortcut should close the flyout`
- `Tabbing back from workspace should reopen the flyout`
- `Navigation position in workspace should be retained when tabbing to flyout and back`
- `Clicking outside Blockly with focused toolbox closes the flyout`
- `Clicking outside Blockly with focused flyout closes the flyout`
- `Clicking on toolbox category focuses it and opens flyout`
### Documentation
No documentation changes are needed beyond the code doc changes included in the PR.
### Additional Information
An additional PR will be introduced for the keyboard experimentation plugin repository to add tests there (see test coverage above). This description will be updated with a link to that PR once it exists.

## The details
### Resolves
Fixes#9043
Fixes https://github.com/google/blockly-samples/issues/2512
### Proposed Changes
This replaces using BlockSvg's own ID for focus management since that's not guaranteed to be unique across all workspaces on the page.
### Reason for Changes
Both https://github.com/google/blockly-samples/issues/2512 covers the user-facing issue in more detail, but from a technical perspective it's possible for blocks to share IDs across workspaces. One easy demonstration of this is the flyout: the first block created from the flyout to the main workspace will share an ID. The workspace minimap plugin just makes the underlying problem more obvious.
The reason this introduces a breakage is due to the inherent ordering that `FocusManager` uses when trying to find a matching tree for a given DOM element that has received focus. These trees are iterated in the order of their registration, so it's quite possible for some cases (like main workspace vs. flyout) to resolve such that the behavior looks correct to users, vs. others (such as the workspace minimap) not behaving as expected.
Guaranteeing ID uniqueness across all workspaces fixes the problem entirely.
### Test Coverage
This has been manually tested in core Blockly's simple test playground and in Blockly samples' workspace minimap plugin test environment (linked against this change). See the new behavior for the minimap plugin:
[Screen recording 2025-05-13 4.31.31 PM.webm](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d2ec3621-6e86-4932-ae85-333b0e7015e1)
Note that this is a regression to v11 behavior in that the blocks in the minimap now show as selected.
This has been verified as working with the latest version of the keyboard navigation plugin (tip-of-tree). Keyboard-based block operations and movement seem to work as expected.
For automated testing this is expected to largely be covered by future tests added as part of resolving #8915.
### Documentation
No public documentation changes should be needed, though `IFocusableNode`'s documentation has been refined to be clearer on the uniqueness property for focusable element IDs.
### Additional Information
There's a separate open design question here about whether `BlockSvg`'s descendants should use the new focus ID vs. the block ID. Here is what I consider to be the trade-off analysis in this decision:
| | Pros | Cons |
|------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Use `BlockSvg.id` | Can use fast `WorkspaceSvg.getBlockById`. | `WorkspaceSvg.lookUpFocusableNode` now uses 2 different IDs. |
| Use `BlockSvg.focusId` | Consistency in IDs use for block-related focus. | Requires more expensive block look-up in `WorkspaceSvg.lookUpFocusableNode`. |

### Resolves
Fixes#8994
### Proposed Changes
This removes an error that was previously thrown by `FocusManager` when attempting to focus an invalid node (such as one that's been removed from its parent).
### Reason for Changes
https://github.com/google/blockly/issues/8994#issuecomment-2855447539 goes into more detail. While this error did cover legitimately wrong cases to try and focus things (and helped to catch some real problems), fixing this 'properly' may become a leaky boat problem where we have to track down every possible asynchronous scenario that could produce such a case. One class of this is ephemeral focus which had robustness improvements itself in #8981 that, by effect, caused this issue in the first place. Holistically fixing this with enforced API contracts alone isn't simple due to the nature of how these components interact.
This change ensures that there's a sane default to fall back on if an invalid node is passed in. Note that `FocusManager` was designed specifically to disallow defocusing a node (since fallbacks can get messy and introduce unpredictable user experiences), and this sort of allows that now. However, this seems like a reasonable approach as it defaults to the behavior when focusing a tree explicitly which allows the tree to fallback to a more suitable default (such as the first item to select in the toolbox for that particular tree). In many cases this will default back to the tree's root node (such as the workspace root group) since sometimes the removed node is still the "last focused node" of the tree (and is considered valid for the purpose of determining a fallback; tree implementations could further specialize by checking whether that node is still valid).
### Test Coverage
Some new tests were added to cover this case, but more may be useful to add as part of #8910.
### Documentation
No documentation needs to be added or updated as part of this (beyond code documentation changes).
### Additional Information
This original issue was found by @RoboErikG when testing #8995. I also verified this against the keyboard navigation plugin repository.
_Note: This is a roll forward of #8920 that was reverted in #8933. See Additional Information below._

### Resolves
Fixes#8918Fixes#8919
Fixes part of #8943
Fixes part of #8771
### Proposed Changes
This updates several classes in order to make toolboxes and flyouts focusable:
- `IFlyout` is now an `IFocusableTree` with corresponding implementations in `FlyoutBase`.
- `IToolbox` is now an `IFocusableTree` with corresponding implementations in `Toolbox`.
- `IToolboxItem` is now an `IFocusableNode` with corresponding implementations in `ToolboxItem`.
- As the primary toolbox items, `ToolboxCategory` and `ToolboxSeparator` were updated to have -1 tab indexes and defined IDs to help `ToolboxItem` fulfill its contracted for `IFocusableNode.getFocusableElement`.
- `FlyoutButton` is now an `IFocusableNode` (with corresponding ID generation, tab index setting, and ID matching for retrieval in `WorkspaceSvg`).
Each of these two new focusable trees have specific noteworthy behaviors behaviors:
- `Toolbox` will automatically indicate that its first item should be focused (if one is present), even overriding the ability to focus the toolbox's root (however there are some cases where that can still happen).
- `Toolbox` will automatically synchronize its selection state with its item nodes being focused.
- `FlyoutBase`, now being a focusable tree, has had a tab index of 0 added. Normally a tab index of -1 is all that's needed, but the keyboard navigation plugin specifically uses 0 for flyout so that the flyout is tabbable. This is a **new** tab stop being introduced.
- `FlyoutBase` holds a workspace (for rendering blocks) and, since `WorkspaceSvg` is already set up to be a focusable tree, it's represented as a subtree to `FlyoutBase`. This does introduce some wonky behaviors: the flyout's root will have passive focus while its contents have active focus. This could be manually disabled with some CSS if it ends up being a confusing user experience.
- Both `FlyoutBase` and `WorkspaceSvg` have built-in behaviors for detecting when a user tries navigating away from an open flyout to ensure that the flyout is closed when it's supposed to be. That is, the flyout is auto-hideable and a non-flyout, non-toolbox node has then been focused. This matches parity with the `T`/`Esc` flows supported in the keyboard navigation plugin playground.
One other thing to note: `Toolbox` had a few tests to update that were trying to reinit a toolbox without first disposing of it (which was caught by one of `FocusManager`'s state guardrails).
This only addresses part of #8943: it adds support for `FlyoutButton` which covers both buttons and labels. However, a longer-term solution may be to change `FlyoutItem` itself to force using an `IFocusableNode` as its element.
### Reason for Changes
This is part of an ongoing effort to ensure key components of Blockly are focusable so that they can be keyboard-navigable (with other needed changes yet both in Core Blockly and the keyboard navigation plugin).
### Test Coverage
No new tests have been added. It's certainly possible to add unit tests for the focusable configurations being introduced in this PR, but it may not be highly beneficial. It's largely assumed that the individual implementations should work due to a highly tested FocusManager, and it may be the case that the interactions of the components working together is far more important to verify (that is, the end user flows). The latter is planned to be tackled as part of #8915.
### Documentation
No documentation changes should be needed here.
### Additional Information
This includes changes that have been pulled from #8875.
This was originally merged in #8916 but was reverted in #8933 due to https://github.com/google/blockly-keyboard-experimentation/issues/481. Note that this does contain a number of differences from the original PR (namely, changes in `WorkspaceSvg` and `FlyoutButton` in order to make `FlyoutButton`s focusable). Otherwise, this has the same caveats as those noted in #8938 with regards to the experimental keyboard navigation plugin.

This introduces new callback methods for IFocusableTree and
IFocusableNode for providing a basis of synchronizing domain state with
focus changes. It also introduces support for implementations of
IFocusableTree to better manage initial state cases, especially when a
tree is focused using tab navigation.
FocusManager has also been updated to ensure functional parity between
tab-navigating to a tree and using focusTree() on that tree. This means
that tab navigating to a tree will actually restore focus back to that
tree's previous focused node rather than the root (unless the root is
navigated to from within the tree itself). This is meant to provide
better consistency between tab and non-tab keyboard navigation.
Note that these changes originally came from #8875 and are required for
later PRs that will introduce IFocusableNode and IFocusableTree
implementations.
This adds new tests for the FocusableTreeTraverser and fixes a number of
issues with the original implementation (one of which required two new
API methods to be added to IFocusableTree). More tests have also been
added for FocusManager, and defocusing tracked nodes/trees has been
fully implemented in FocusManager.
This is the bulk of the work for introducing the central logical unit
for managing and sychronizing focus as a first-class Blockly concept
with that of DOM focus.
There's a lot to do yet, including:
- Ensuring clicks within Blockly's scope correctly sync back to focus
changes.
- Adding support for, and testing, cases when focus is lost from all
registered trees.
- Testing nested tree propagation.
- Testing the traverser utility class.
- Adding implementations for IFocusableTree and IFocusableNode
throughout Blockly.
Introduces the necessary base interfaces for representing different
focusable contexts within Blockly. The actual logic for utilizing and
implementing these interfaces will come in later PRs.
