Focus not moved when image edit panel opens #2813

Description

What’s broken?

After inserting an image (via / or /image/), the first command menu collapses but the focus remains on it. The image edit panel opens without the focus being moved to it and without any information being provided to the user indicating that a new panel is now available.

Impact

A blind user navigating with a screen reader inserts an image: the first menu collapses, the focus remains on it, and the edit panel opens silently. The user does not know that the panel is available and cannot access it without a mouse.

What did you expect to happen?

When the image edit panel opens, the focus must be moved to this panel or to its first interactive element. If moving the focus is not desirable, the panel opening must be announced via an aria-live region.

Steps to reproduce

Open a Docs document
Navigate using keyboard only
Insert an image via / or /image/
Notice that the focus remains on the first collapsed menu; the edit panel is open but inaccessible without a mouse
