+<p><code>auro-combobox</code> provides:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>ARIA combobox pattern</strong> — The input carries <code>aria-expanded</code>, <code>aria-owns</code>, and <code>aria-haspopup</code> to properly describe the relationship between the input and the suggestions list.</li>
+<li><strong>Active descendant tracking</strong> — <code>aria-activedescendant</code> moves with keyboard navigation so screen readers announce the highlighted option without moving DOM focus.</li>
+<li><strong>Live region announcements</strong> — Selections are announced via <code>aria-live="polite"</code>, and validation errors use <code>aria-live="assertive"</code>.</li>
+<li><strong>Full keyboard navigation</strong> — Arrow keys navigate options, Enter selects, Escape closes, Home/End jump to boundaries. A dedicated keyboard strategy handles all interactions.</li>
+</ul>

+<p>Native <code>&lt;datalist&gt;</code> always allows freeform input. There is no way to restrict the user to only the provided options.</p>
+<p><code>auro-combobox</code> supports two modes:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Suggestion mode</strong> (default) — The user can type any value. Suggestions are offered but not required.</li>
+<li><strong>Filter mode</strong> — The user must select from the available options. Typed text filters the list but cannot be submitted as a value. Validation enforces this constraint.</li>
+</ul>
+<auro-header level="2" id="realtimeFiltering">Real-time filtering</auro-header>
+<p><code>&lt;datalist&gt;</code> filtering is browser-controlled and cannot be customized. Some browsers match from the start of the option text, others match anywhere.</p>
+<p><code>auro-combobox</code> filters options as the user types, with full control:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>noFilter</code> disables filtering to show all options regardless of input</li>
+<li><code>matchWord</code> highlights the matched portion of each option</li>
+<li><code>persistInput</code> keeps the filter text visible after selection</li>
+</ul>
+<auro-header level="2" id="responsiveLayout">Responsive layout</auro-header>
+<p>Native <code>&lt;datalist&gt;</code> renders a small browser-controlled popup that cannot be repositioned or resized.</p>
+<p><code>auro-combobox</code> adapts to the viewport:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Desktop</strong> — Suggestions appear as a positioned dropdown using Floating UI, with configurable placement, offset, flip, and shift behavior</li>
+<li><strong>Mobile</strong> — Suggestions open in a fullscreen dialog via <code>showModal()</code>, with a configurable breakpoint (<code>fullscreenBreakpoint</code>)</li>
+<li><strong>Width matching</strong> — The dropdown can match the input width or size independently</li>
+</ul>
+<auro-header level="2" id="validation">Validation</auro-header>
+<p>Native <code>&lt;datalist&gt;</code> has no built-in validation beyond standard <code>required</code>.</p>
+<p><code>auro-combobox</code> integrates with the Auro form validation system:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Required field validation with mode-aware messaging (separate messages for suggestion vs. filter mode)</li>
+<li>Custom error messages per validity state (<code>setCustomValidityCustomError</code>, <code>setCustomValidityValueMissing</code>, <code>setCustomValidityValueMissingFilter</code>)</li>
+<li>Validation on blur with <code>noValidate</code> opt-out</li>
+<li>Error display via help text with <code>role="alert"</code></li>
+</ul>
+<auro-header level="2" id="inputMasking">Input masking</auro-header>
+<p><code>&lt;datalist&gt;</code> inputs have no formatting support.</p>
+<p><code>auro-combobox</code> supports input masks via the <code>format</code> attribute, enabling structured input (e.g., dates, phone numbers) while still offering suggestions.</p>
+<auro-header level="2" id="designSystemIntegration">Design system integration</auro-header>
+<p><code>&lt;datalist&gt;</code> styling is entirely browser-controlled. The popup cannot be themed, and option rendering is limited to plain text.</p>
+<p><code>auro-combobox</code> is built with the Auro Design System:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Three layout options: classic, emphasized, and snowflake</li>
+<li>Light and dark theme support (<code>appearance</code>)</li>
+<li>Checkmarks on selected options</li>
+<li>Rich HTML content in options (icons, descriptions, nested structure)</li>
+<li>CSS <code>::part()</code> selectors for styling</li>
+</ul>
