Research direction

Start by locating the form input styles and existing validation states in the Stacks styles. Review how the :required and :optional pseudo-classes apply to inputs, then define styling for both states consistent with the existing design. Done means the states are visibly styled without disrupting current form behavior.

Description

enhancement

Practically, this will be adding appropriate styling to inputs using the :required pseudo selector. Conversely, :optional should probably be styled as well.
