Three takeaways
  1. 1Host bindings that return computed CSS custom properties let the browser handle rendering while the component owns the math.
  2. 2A setter on an @Input is the natural place to validate and clamp incoming values before they reach the view.
  3. 3Mirroring visual state into ARIA attributes keeps a custom control accessible to assistive technology.
