## Features

- Parent select-all that reflects all, none, or indeterminate child state

- Live selection summary announced with `aria-live="polite"`

## Accessibility

- **Grouping** — Options wrapped in a `<fieldset>` labeled via `aria-labelledby`
- **Labels** — Each input carries an `aria-label`; the select-all is labeled
- **Hints** — Descriptive hints associated via `aria-describedby`
- **Live region** — Selection summary uses `aria-live="polite"`
- **Indeterminate** — Parent uses the native `indeterminate` property, not just styling
- **Decorative box** — Custom box and checkmark marked `aria-hidden="true"`

## Keyboard shortcuts

- `Space` — Toggle the focused checkbox
