Description
In the macOS Codex app, the Settings sidebar shows a clipped focus ring around sidebar items. The left and right edges of the focus ring are cut off by the sidebar bounds, and the ring can visually overlap or touch the currently selected item highlight.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open Codex.app on macOS.
- Open the Settings panel.
- Select any item in the left sidebar, such as Configuration.
- Keep that item selected.
- Use the keyboard arrow keys to move focus to another sidebar item.
- Observe the additional rounded focus frame around the newly focused item.
- Alternatively:
- Select one sidebar item.
- Switch focus to another app.
- Click anywhere in Codex.app to focus it again.
- Observe the same frame appearing.
What is the expected behavior?
The focus frame should be fully visible within the sidebar, with proper padding from the sidebar edges. It should not be clipped or visually collide with the selected item highlight.
Additional information
Actual behavior
The focus frame appears around the focused sidebar item, but its left and right edges are clipped by the sidebar borders. When the focused item is adjacent to the selected item, the frame also visually touches or overlaps the selected item’s highlight.
