fix(clear-button): updates documentation, examples and adds tests for clear button accessibility

[cdransf]

Description

Fixed accessibility violations in the <sp-clear-button> documentation by adding the required label attribute to all examples. The component implementation already correctly handles the label attribute (via the LikeAnchor mixin), but the documentation examples were missing it, causing WCAG 2.1 Level A violations (4.1.2 Name, Role, Value) when rendered on the documentation site.

Additionally:

• Corrected misleading documentation that suggested slot content could be used for labels (the ClearButton overrides buttonContent and does not render slot content)
• Fixed JSDoc in ClearButton.ts to accurately document the label attribute instead of the non-functional slot
• Added three new accessibility tests to verify aria-label behavior
• Fixed grammar: "only close icon" → "only a close icon"

Motivation and context

Users running Axe DevTools on https://swcpreviews.z13.web.core.windows.net/pr-5861/docs/components/clear-button reported "ARIA commands must have an accessible name" violations. The clear button examples were missing the label attribute, which is the only way to provide an accessible name since the component only renders an icon (no slot content).

Reviewer's checklist

Manual review test cases

• Verify all clear-button examples on documentation page have accessible names

  1. Navigate to https://opensource.adobe.com/spectrum-web-components/components/clear-button/
  2. Run Axe DevTools browser extension
  3. Expect no "ARIA commands must have an accessible name" violations for clear buttons

• Verify clear button aria-label is set correctly

  1. Inspect any <sp-clear-button label="Clear"> element
  2. Check the rendered HTML attributes
  3. Expect role="button" and aria-label="Clear" on the host element

The documentation site is not reflecting the changes in the markdown. im going to check it out locally but we might need to investigate why thats not working

Probably a follow up ticket but the docs site for clear button is rendering the default button demo at the top and not a close button

The documentation system (copy-component-docs.js) looks for template.js/ts in the package directory's stories/ folder, not the parent package.

Currently:

• clear-button.md lives in packages/button/clear-button.md
• Documentation system processes it as component clear-button with package button
• It looks for template at: packages/button/stories/template.js
• That template only renders <sp-button>, not <sp-clear-button> as here

There are several ways to tackle this but would be a good follow up fix.
