Description

InputGroup.Root focuses its input when the user clicks the group or plain addon text, and leaves the click alone when it lands on a control. The guard matched every element with a role, so a click on status, note or presentation content (a live character count, a hint) did nothing. The guard now lists the WAI-ARIA widget and composite roles, built into the selector from one array, and keeps [tabindex]. Buttons, links and role-only widgets inside the group keep their own click behavior.

A Counter story on the InputGroup page shows a role="status" character count. In swingset, clicking it left document.activeElement on body before and puts it on the group's input.cl-input after; clicking the Invalid story's in-group button focuses the button in both runs.

Fixes CORE-4107.

The group's click guard treated every element with a role as a control, so a click on status, note or presentation content inside the group did nothing. The guard now lists the WAI-ARIA widget and composite roles, and keeps tabindex, so only real controls keep the click. A Counter story with a live character count shows the case.

Walkthrough

The input group now uses a defined list of widget roles when deciding whether clicked content is interactive. Tests cover clicks on noninteractive content and a switch-role element. The stories add a character-count example and describe how clicking its status text focuses the input.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Suggested reviewers: alexcarpenter

Merge Risk: Low · up to 04cd3

Clicking some custom controls with fallback ARIA roles can unexpectedly focus the input. The impact is limited to those controls.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: InputGroup now focuses its input when the user clicks noninteractive role content. The raw summary confirms the click guard in input-group.tsx now uses a fixed list of widget roles instead of matching any [role] element, and the test and story changes support the same fix. The title uses the fix(mosaic) prefix and fits the changeset's scope. It is 72 characters, which is within a normal title length.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description matches the changeset. It explains that the click guard matched every element with a role, and that it now uses WAI-ARIA widget and composite roles built from one array. It also covers the Counter story, the swingset verification steps, and the linked issue CORE-4107. The description is specific and on-topic.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 3 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Matches Clicking status counter focuses input

Clicking the status counter now focuses the input and typed text lands in it; before, focus stayed on body and typing did nothing.

Match widget roles in role lists.

role="switch checkbox" is a valid role list, but this selector does not match it. Clicking that widget therefore focuses the group input. WAI-ARIA resolves whitespace-separated role tokens in order. (w3.org)

Match role tokens and account for role precedence. Add a regression test for a widget with fallback roles.
