Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the accessory documentation hierarchy by promoting the Accessibility heading and removing individual component headings from the API section while retaining its entries.
    • Updated selection-group accessibility guidance to identify the icon as a non-color selection indicator, recommend clarifying selection mode before interaction, and caution that selected borders may conflict with focus indicators.

Walkthrough

The Accessory story changes its heading structure and Component API presentation. The SelectionGroup story updates guidance about its checkmark, selection-mode label, and focus indicator.

Changes: Story documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Accessory story documentation
modules/labs-react/accessory/stories/Accessory.mdx
The Accessibility heading becomes a level-two heading. Individual Component API headings are removed, while the SymbolDoc entries remain.
SelectionGroup accessibility guidance
modules/labs-react/selection-group/stories/SelectionGroup.mdx
The guidance identifies the checkmark as a non-color selection indicator, calls for a selection-mode label before interaction, and notes that selected borders conflict with the focus indicator.

- Around line 114-115: Replace the incorrect role and label guidance in the
Accessory documentation with instructions to provide the item’s accessible name
in adjacent text, consistent with Accessory’s aria-hidden behavior and tests
that verify it does not expose an img role.
