AdminLTE v4.8.1

A keyboard-accessibility fix on top of 4.8.0, reported by @johnnyq (#6109).

Pagination lost its focus ring under data-lte-primary

Both palette sheets shipped a literal Sass variable name in their compiled output:

[data-lte-primary] .pagination {
  --bs-pagination-focus-box-shadow: 0 0 0 $pagination-focus-box-shadow-width rgba(var(--bs-primary-rgb), 0.25);
}

Sass does not evaluate $variables inside a custom property value — it emits them verbatim rather than failing — so the typo compiled cleanly, reached the browser as text, and made the declaration invalid. --bs-pagination-focus-box-shadow then resolved to nothing and keyboard focus on .page-link was invisible wherever data-lte-primary was in use. Introduced in 4.6.0.

The variable it named never existed in Bootstrap either (the pagination focus shadow comes from $focus-ring-box-shadow), so interpolating it would not have compiled. The value is now built from the focus-ring tokens and reuses the --bs-focus-ring-color the sheet already sets, so the ring follows the theme colour:

--bs-pagination-focus-box-shadow: 0 0 0 0.25rem var(--bs-focus-ring-color);

A unit test now scans the compiled output of all three sheets for unresolved Sass variables. Compilation cannot catch this class of typo, which is exactly why it shipped — this was the only instance in the repo, and adminlte.css was never affected.
