Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR adds keyboard and screen-reader behavior to ix-group, but current evidence indicates unresolved cases that can block slotted header interactions, leave the expand control unnamed, bypass configured header-click behavior, or stop tracking after reconnection; the new public behavior is also not fully documented. These issues can cause inaccessible or incorrect group interactions, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In @.changeset/eix-73-group-a11y.md:
- Line 5: Add the relevant GitHub issue reference to the changeset summary using
the exact “Fixes #<issue-number>” format, preserving the existing accessibility
summary and minor bump; if no GitHub issue applies, reference the Jira item as
“IX-<number>” in the PR description or commit message.
In `@packages/core/src/components/group/group.scss`:
- Around line 180-206: Remove order: -1 from .btn-expand-header, then update the
group.tsx header markup to render the expand button before the select area so
DOM, visual, and keyboard order match. In
packages/core/src/components/group/test/group.ct.ts lines 320-332, update the
tab-order assertion to expect the expand button first and the header select
button second.
- Around line 187-188: Add an empty line immediately before the double-slash
comment preceding align-self in the group styling block, preserving the existing
comment and declaration unchanged so Stylelint passes.
In `@packages/core/src/components/group/group.tsx`:
- Around line 266-273: Move the hostElement keydown listener registration from
componentDidLoad to connectedCallback, pairing it with the existing
disconnectedCallback cleanup. Keep the capture-phase options and
onKeyDownCapture handler unchanged, and leave the observer initialization in
componentDidLoad.
- Around line 355-368: The suppressHeaderSelection branch in renderHeaderSelect
creates a clickable static area without keyboard accessibility. Add an
equivalent keyboard interaction and appropriate focus/role semantics to the
group-header-select-area--static element, or remove its pointer-cursor
affordance if the mouse-only behavior is intentionally retained; ensure users
still have a keyboard path when the expand button is unavailable.
- Around line 155-183: Refactor collapseAndFocusExpand to reuse toggleExpanded
instead of duplicating the expandedChanged emit-and-rollback logic. Preserve its
early return when already collapsed and only focus expandButtonEl after a
successful collapse when showExpandCollapsedIcon is enabled.
- Around line 306-328: Update the onKeyDown handler to clear skipEscapeCollapse
immediately for every Escape keydown, before checks for expanded state or
event.defaultPrevented. Preserve the existing collapse and dropdown-handling
behavior after the reset, and leave onKeyDownCapture unchanged.
- Around line 380-383: Update the group header rendering around
renderHeaderContent so ariaHidden is applied only to generated header and
subHeader text, not the container that renders the named header slot. Keep
slotted header content outside any aria-hidden wrapper, including interactive
elements.
In `@packages/core/src/components/group/test/group.page.ts`:
- Around line 43-46: Update selectButton, expectNoSelectButton, and focusSelect
to remove their unused name parameters, or use those parameters to filter the
button locator by accessible name. Ensure callers cannot provide a mismatched
name while still resolving the generic button.group-header-select locator.
In `@testing/framework-tests/__snapshots__/group-aria-snapshot.yaml`:
- Around line 2-3: Update the ix-group source so its selection and disclosure
controls receive distinct action-specific accessible names instead of both using
the group header text; preserve those names when context-menu and custom-entry
variants are present. Regenerate
testing/framework-tests/__snapshots__/group-aria-snapshot.yaml lines 2-3,
testing/framework-tests/__snapshots__/group-context-menu-aria-snapshot.yaml
lines 2-3, and
testing/framework-tests/__snapshots__/group-custom-entry-aria-snapshot.yaml
lines 2-3 using the appropriate snapshot generation step; do not edit snapshots
as the source of the change.
In `@testing/visual-testing/tests/group/group.e2e.ts`:
- Line 22: Extract the repeated active-element blur operation into a shared
blurActiveElement helper in the group test, importing the Page type from
`@playwright/test` as needed. Replace all five inline page.evaluate blur calls
with await blurActiveElement(page), preserving the existing behavior.
