Andreas Reinhold / reiniandClaude Opus 5 88c46001fb Filter a menu from a field at the top of it
Plan step 22, actions.md § Missing (Menus as a filtering surface): M3's
menus page describes a menu that embeds a text field and filters its
options as you type, and nothing in the library did that.

`<x-menu filter>` renders the field, sticky above the list, and hides the
rows the query leaves out — client-side over the items already rendered,
so nothing is fetched and a `wire:click` stays where it was. The field
keeps the focus and the arrow keys move a highlight it names through
`aria-activedescendant`, the APG combobox keyboard `<x-choices
searchable>` already uses; Enter chooses the highlighted row, and a query
that leaves nothing says so. The list becomes a `role="menu"` inside the
popover, because a text field is not something a menu may contain.

/**
* `materialMenu`: the behaviour of `<x-menu>` — WAI-ARIA's menu button pattern on a popover.
* `materialSubmenu`: the same pattern one level in, for `<x-menu-item submenu>`.
*
* The menu button is the trigger's first button or link. Its ARIA attributes are written by
* script, which a Livewire morph removes along with anything else the server did not render,
* so they are written again whenever the trigger is used and after every morph — an open menu
* lives through one (the popover is keyed), and its button must still say so.
*
* The popover hangs on the menu button by CSS anchor positioning. The server can only name the
* wrapper around the trigger slot, and a trigger taken out of the flow — a `position: fixed` FAB
* in a corner of the window — leaves that wrapper behind as an empty box where the page put it,
* so the menu opened there. Script moves the name onto the menu button, beside any name the button
* carries itself (a button's tooltip anchors on it too), and moves it again after every morph,
* which puts the server's attributes, and a fresh name, back.
*
* A submenu's popover sits inside its parent's, so the browser keeps the two open together — a
* nested `popover="auto"` light-dismisses only down to its DOM ancestor — and closes the inner one
* when the outer goes. Its trigger *is* the item, which the server names itself, so the two pieces
* that exist only for a wrapper (moving the anchor name, and finding the button inside the trigger
* slot) are overridden away. `items()` stops at the popover it belongs to, so the arrow keys in a
* menu never walk into an open submenu's rows, nor a submenu's back out into its parent's.
*
* `<x-menu filter>` adds a text field at the top of the same list. The field keeps the focus while
* the arrow keys move a highlight — APG's combobox, which is what a text field inside a popup
* asks for — so `refine()`, `visible()`, `mark()` and `search()` work on `aria-activedescendant`
* and the `hidden` attribute rather than on the roving focus the rest of this file uses. They do
* nothing at all in a menu with no field: `$refs.filter` is what turns them on.
