…ccessible name FormField.Input sets aria-labelledby and overrode Checkbox's own label. FormFieldGroup.Input does not, so the visible "I agree to the terms" remains the accessible name and "Confirm" is group context. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Checkbox guidance and examples improve accessible composition, but the focus example exposes an inaccurately named action and the ID guidance is contradictory. These are bounded documentation and accessibility-example issues to correct before relying on the examples as reference behavior. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Thanks Moaan! I think we need to make a few adjustments to the examples here.
Simplify Basic to a standalone checkbox, use nested ul markup in Indeterminate, and demonstrate ref forwarding via changeFocus in RefForwarding. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Make FormFieldGroup conditional, document native keyboard behavior briefly, and use disabled as the single unavailability path. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Spell out when to use FormFieldGroup vs a nested list vs standalone, split visual error from group wiring, and keep How to satisfy affirmative. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

It's a little self-serving to approve my own feedback contributions. @purvas12 , & @moaan-workday do you mind taking a look?

Allow a custom id when the application requires one.
This rule prohibits id, but lines 169-173 explicitly allow a custom id when a specification requires it. Limit the anti-pattern to unnecessary manual IDs.

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Use a label that matches the button action.
handleClick only moves focus to the checkbox. It does not submit anything. Rename the button to Focus checkbox, or implement a real submit flow before using the label Submit.
