- * goes inert rather than stealing the click.
+ * Controlled only; parents own the state. Two renderings, one class list:
+ *
+ * - With `onChange` it is the control, as Base UI renders it: a
+ *   `<span role="checkbox">` with a hidden `<input>` beside it. Space
+ *   toggles, Enter does not, and its click never reaches the row around it.
+ * - Without `onChange` it is a picture of the state, for a row that toggles
+ *   on its own click. It is hidden from assistive technology and takes no
+ *   focus, so the row is one control and says the state itself
+ *   (`aria-pressed`, or `aria-selected` on an option). Two focusable controls
+ *   nested in one another is what axe's `nested-interactive` rule rejects.
+ *
+ * The tick is always in the box, hidden when unchecked. A box that is empty
+ * in one state and holds an icon in the other hangs on a line of text
+ * differently in each, and moved 1px on every click (Katerina, 2026-09-07:
+ * "it should be fixed"). With the tick always there, Base UI's `<span>` and
+ * the `<button>` this used to be land on the same pixel, measured. In a flex
+ * row nothing ever moved.
