You should handle this in order to handle the case where the caret
disappears, i.e. focus moves to something that's not text.

+  void OnFocus() override {}
+  void OnBlur() override {}
+  void OnCaretBoundsChanged(const TextInputClient* client) override;
+  void OnTextInputStateChanged(const TextInputClient* client) override;
+  void OnInputMethodDestroyed(const InputMethod* input_method) override;

Possibly this too.

See chrome/browser/chromeos/accessibility/accessibility_highlight_manager.cc
for another class where I extended InputMethodObserver to do focus highlighting,
you should follow similar logic

+  void OnShowImeIfNeeded() override {}
+
   // Overridden from WindowEventTarget
   LRESULT HandleMouseMessage(unsigned int message,
                              WPARAM w_param,
