+/**
+ * VCommandPalette Component
+ *
+ * A comprehensive command palette implementation that provides keyboard-driven navigation
+ * for applications. This component combines search functionality, hierarchical navigation,
+ * keyboard shortcuts, and accessibility features into a unified interface.
+ *
+ * Key Features:
+ * - Fuzzy search with keyword support
+ * - Hierarchical navigation (groups, parents, children)
+ * - Keyboard navigation with arrow keys, enter, escape, backspace
+ * - Individual item hotkeys that work globally when palette is open
+ * - Full accessibility compliance (ARIA, screen reader support)
+ * - Customizable layouts via slots and custom components
+ * - Focus restoration for proper accessibility
+ * - Transition support following Vuetify conventions
+ *
+ * Architecture:
+ * - VCommandPalette: Main container and dialog management
+ * - VCommandPaletteContent: Core logic and state management
+ * - VCommandPaletteList: Default list rendering with complex item flattening
+ * - VCommandPaletteSearch: Search input with accessibility
+ * - VCommandPaletteInstructions: Contextual keyboard shortcuts
+ * - useCommandPaletteNavigation: Keyboard navigation logic
+ * - useCommandPaletteContext: Custom layout support

+/**
+ * VCommandPaletteList Component and Type System
+ *
+ * This file contains the default list rendering component for the command palette
+ * along with a comprehensive type system that defines all possible item types.
+ * The component handles complex item flattening, accessibility, and rendering
+ * for hierarchical data structures.
+ *
+ * Key Responsibilities:
+ * - Defines the complete type system for command palette items
+ * - Flattens hierarchical items (groups, parents, children) into a renderable list
+ * - Manages selection state and keyboard navigation
+ * - Provides proper ARIA attributes for accessibility
+ * - Handles different item types with appropriate rendering
+ *
+ * Type System Overview:
+ * - BaseItemProps: Common properties for all items
+ * - VCommandPaletteItemDefinition: Leaf items (action or link)
+ * - VCommandPaletteParentDefinition: Items with navigable children
+ * - VCommandPaletteGroupDefinition: Visual grouping with non-navigable header
+ * - Type guards for runtime type checking
+ *
+ * Why this complexity exists:
+ * The command palette supports rich hierarchical data with different behaviors:
+ * - Groups provide visual organization without navigation
+ * - Parents provide drill-down navigation
+ * - Items provide actions or links
+ * This requires a sophisticated type system and rendering logic.

+ * maintaining proper accessibility and navigation state.
+ *
+ * Why it exists as a separate composable:
+ * - Enables custom layouts while maintaining accessibility compliance
+ * - Provides a clean API for item registration and state management
+ * - Separates context logic from component rendering logic
+ * - Allows for future extensibility (grid layouts, different navigation modes)
+ * - Follows Vue's provide/inject pattern for component communication
+ *
+ * Scope justification: While this adds complexity, it's necessary to support
+ * custom layouts without breaking accessibility or navigation. The alternative
+ * would be forcing all users into the default list layout, reducing flexibility.
