fix(focus-rings): remove broken [&_input]:focus selectors and fix error state focus-visible

- Strip malformed [[&_input]:focus:*] class fragments from PersonTypeahead
  wrapper divs in both ConversationFilterBar components — PersonTypeahead
  manages its own focus ring; parent selectors were redundant and broken
- Fix WhoWhenSection error state: focus:ring-red-500 → focus-visible:ring-red-500
  so invalid date field ring no longer fires on mouse click
