/**
* A searchable single-select following the ARIA combobox pattern: real focus
* stays on the text field the entire time, the listbox is controlled via
* `aria-activedescendant`, and filtering uses `.includes()` on
* locale-lowercased text rather than raw byte comparison — `toLowerCase()`
* is locale-sensitive in a handful of scripts (Turkish dotless ı being the
* classic case), so this always lowercases through the current locale.
