The captions, mute/unmute, and pause/play controls in the story system layer are paired sibling buttons toggled by host attributes that drive display:block via CSS. Clicking one hides it and reveals its sibling, which drops keyboard focus on desktop and lands iOS VoiceOver on a hidden element. Capture whether the just-hidden sibling holds focus before the attribute mutation, then move focus to the now-visible sibling. Programmatic state changes do not move focus.

Restores keyboard and screen-reader focus after the AMP Story system layer toggles between paired sibling buttons (captions on/off, mute/unmute, pause/play). Each pair is two sibling
<button>elements; CSS swaps which one isdisplay: block !importantbased on a host attribute, so activating the visible button immediately hides it and the browser blurs it. On desktop this loses focus; on iOS VoiceOver focus lands on the hidden sibling.The fix captures whether the just-hidden sibling held focus before the attribute mutation, and only then moves focus to the now-visible sibling via
tryFocusfrom#core/dom. Programmatic state changes (autoplay, viewer messaging) do not steal focus.Touches

Adds 9 unit tests intest-amp-story-system-layer.jscovering focus restoration and the do-not-steal-focus behavior for each paired toggle.Repro without the fix: tab to the captions, pause, or mute button in any story, activate via Enter or Space, and observe focus is lost on desktop or jumps to a hidden element on iOS VoiceOver.
