@@ -31,9 +31,40 @@ This rule **allows** the following:
{{some-component role="heading" aria-level="2"}}
+
+ {{! Native inputs supply required ARIA state for matching roles. Lookup is
+ based on axobject-query's elementAXObjects + AXObjectRoles (see below). }}
+
+
+
+
```
+## Semantic-role exemptions
+
+When the role attribute explicitly declares a role that the native element already provides, the native element supplies the required ARIA state and the rule does not flag missing attributes. The exemption is looked up via [axobject-query](https://github.com/A11yance/axobject-query)'s `elementAXObjects` + `AXObjectRoles` maps, matching the approach used by `eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y` and `@angular-eslint/template`.
+
+Exempt pairings include (non-exhaustive):
+
+| Element | Role | Required ARIA state supplied by |
+| ------------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| `` | `checkbox`, `switch` | native `checked` state |
+| `` | `radio` | native `checked` state |
+| `` | `slider` | native `value` / `min` / `max` |
+| `` | `spinbutton` | native `value` (spinbutton has no required ARIA) |
+| `` | `textbox` | no required ARIA |
+| `` | `searchbox` | no required ARIA |
+
+Undocumented pairings (e.g. `` — axobject-query does not list this) remain flagged.
