Does the adjacent color clause of SC 1.4.11 apply when focus changes swap colors but also are adjacent to the background

In the screenshot below the button background and page background are the same color. The focus indicator is communicated by a color change of the circular button to become darker. SC 1.4.11 doesn't require the focused and unfocused states to have contrast - but must the new focused color contrast with adjacent page background colors as well because the focus indicator takes up the whole button area?

For a circular button - what is considered the component rather than page background - is it the bounding box or the visible component?

I have moved this to an issue as no one has responded in 3 weeks.

I must confess, I never noticed this Discussions tab before! It does seem like some things might be better suited as discussions as compared to issues.
