/**
 * Custom accessible single-select listbox that emphasizes a checkbox
 * affordance. Each option row carries a 16px checkbox indicator (`size-4`,
 * `rounded-[var(--ds-radius-xs)]`, 1px `color.border` outline) that fills
 * and shows a check glyph exactly when the row is `aria-selected`. This is
 * SINGLE-select — selecting one option checks it and clears the others, so
 * the checkbox always reflects the currently selected value (mirroring the
 * listbox `aria-selected` state). Click, Enter, or Space selects and
 * closes. Full WAI-ARIA combobox/listbox pattern: trigger button with
 * `aria-haspopup="listbox"`, `aria-expanded`, `aria-controls`,
 * `aria-activedescendant`; panel with `role="listbox"` of `role="option"`
 * rows carrying `aria-selected`. Keyboard: ArrowUp/Down/Home/End/Enter/
 * Space/Escape/Tab. Outside-click + Escape close. Controlled (value/
 * onChange) and uncontrolled (defaultValue) both supported.
