fix(core/input): move host aria attributes to the native control - #2975
aria-label, aria-required and the other aria-* attributes set on ix-input, ix-number-input or ix-textarea stay on the host, but focus lands on the native control in the shadow root. Screen readers announce the field without a name or required state.
inheritHostAriaAttributes() in input.util.ts moves the host's ARIA attributes to the native <input> / <textarea> in componentWillLoad. It uses the existing a11yHostAttributes helper, like ix-date-dropdown and ix-slider. role stays on the host.
getAriaAttributesForInput() merges them in. aria-invalid still comes from the validation state. aria-required is true when required is set or the host had aria-required="true".
ix-number-input now passes these attributes to its native input too. It passed none before, so required wasn't exposed either.
Like the other components using a11yHostAttributes, attributes are read once on load, so ones added later aren't forwarded.
Changeset for @siemens/ix (patch).

New tests in input/tests/host-aria.ct.ts, for each of the three components:
a host aria-label ends up on the native control and not on the host
a host aria-required="true" is exposed on the native control
required still sets aria-required
I ran the Pull Request workflow on my fork. With the change everything passes. With only the source change reverted, the new tests fail (all except the required case for ix-input / ix-textarea, which already worked). Two tests were flaky and passed on retry: form-ready - ix-number-input with initial value and the number-input basic screenshot (classic-dark, 2 px).
aria-label and applicable host-provided ARIA attributes are applied to the native controls in input, number input, and textarea components. Host-only attributes, such as aria-labelledby and aria-hidden, remain on the components.
Changes to host aria-label values are reflected on the native controls. Blank or removed labels fall back to the component’s label where available.
Required state is conveyed on native controls when set through the required property or aria-required attribute.
The three input components inherit selected host ARIA attributes and pass them to their native controls. Host-only attributes remain on the host. A shared helper combines inherited attributes with component-derived states.
Adds a host-only attribute list and extends the helper to include inherited attributes. aria-invalid remains component-derived. aria-required reflects the component’s required state or an inherited value of 'true'.

The three input components now forward host aria attributes to the native control. A blank host aria-label falls back to the field label, and role, aria-hidden and ID-reference attributes stay on the host. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Synchronize later ARIA attribute changes.
If a consumer changes aria-label after hydration, the native input keeps the initial label. Screen readers then announce stale information. The same capture pattern affects ix-number-input and ix-textarea. Synchronize host ARIA changes with the native control throughout its lifecycle.

Please use the InheritAriaAttributesMixin instead of introducing a one-shot inheritance path. It already handles updates and removals. Currently, changing or removing aria-label after hydration leaves the native control with a stale accessible name. Please add this mixin for dynamic updates in all three controls (input, number-input, textarea).

Thanks, done in 3f50601. ix-input, ix-number-input and ix-textarea now use InheritAriaAttributesMixin, and the attributes that have to stay on the host (role, aria-hidden and the ID references) go through getIgnoredAriaAttributes(). The one-shot inheritHostAriaAttributes helper is gone. A new test in host-aria.ct.ts changes aria-label after hydration and then removes it, and checks the native control for each of the three components. The full suite passes on my fork.
Move `aria-*` attributes set on `ix-input`, `ix-number-input` and `ix-textarea` to the native control, so screen readers announce the accessible name and required state. `role`, `aria-hidden` and ID-reference attributes such as `aria-labelledby` and `aria-describedby` stay on the host.

Restore the field label when the host aria-label is removed.
If a control starts with both label and aria-label, the wrapper records the native label as explicit. Removing the host aria-label then clears the native name without restoring label. Screen-reader users can no longer identify the field. This also affects ix-number-input and ix-textarea.

@coderabbitai Good catch on the outside-diff comment about removing the host aria-label: fixed in 012a015. ix-field-wrapper stops managing the control's name once it started with an aria-label, so getAriaAttributesForInput() now falls back to the component's label when no aria-label is inherited. A new test in host-aria.ct.ts starts each of the three controls with label="City" and aria-label="Location", removes the aria-label and checks the native control is named "City" again. The full suite passes on my fork.
@khushi-git-7 Thanks for the fix. I verified that 012a015 adds the label fallback and tests it for all three controls.
I did not run the suite. Thanks for confirming that it passed on your fork.

Preserve the host disabled state for slotted controls.
If an input has an initial aria-disabled="true" and a focusable slotted control, moving the attribute to the native input removes the slotted control’s inherited disabled state. Keep the state on the host as well as on the native input.

@coderabbitai On the outside-diff note about aria-disabled: I'm leaving that as it is. aria-disabled only announces a state, it doesn't disable anything, and these controls are disabled through their disabled property, which already reaches the native element and the wrapper. Keeping a copy on the host as well would have screen readers announce the state on two elements, and slotted controls take their own disabled state from their own attributes. Happy to change it if the maintainers see it differently.
For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.
@khushi-git-7 Thanks for explaining. I understand the distinction between aria-disabled and the disabled property. I’ll leave the current approach as it is for the maintainers to consider.
