+## Breaking Changes
+### aria
+- The legacy combobox and autocomplete implementations have been removed. Use the new standalone combobox instead.
+  
+  * feat(aria/combobox): promote simple-combobox to stable un-prefixed combobox
+  
+  - Relocates public, private, and example directories to clean `combobox` entry points.
+  - Renames internal layout symbols, selectors, and uppercase tokens (`SIMPLE_COMBOBOX_POPUP` -> `COMBOBOX_POPUP`).
+  - Establishes full documentation extraction parity with the `json_api` Bazel rule target.
+  - Standardizes the accompanying toolbar component showcase into the clean `aria-toolbar` path.
+  - Re-routes dev-app navigation links and migrates public API golden records.
+- `SimpleCombobox` has been promoted to `Combobox`. All `simple-combobox` prefixed symbols, selectors, and tokens have been renamed to use the `combobox` prefix.
+  
+  * refactor(aria/combobox): relocate and restructure autocomplete and toolbar examples
+  Relocate the autocomplete examples to `src/components-examples/aria/autocomplete` and toolbar examples to `src/components-examples/aria/toolbar`.
+  - Restore naming continuity with the historical codebase by stripping redundant prefixes from example filenames and component selectors.
+  - Sync dev-app preview routing layout paths and strict Bazel target dependency links.
+### cdk
+- * `CDK_DESCRIBEDBY_HOST_ATTRIBUTE` has been removed.
+  * `CDK_DESCRIBEDBY_ID_PREFIX` has been removed.
+  * The `injector` parameter of the `ConfigurableFocusTrap` and `FocusTrap` constructors is now required.
+  * The boolean parameter of `ConfigurableFocusTrapFactory.create` has been replaced with a config object.
+  * `MESSAGES_CONTAINER_ID` has been removed.
+- * The `event` parameter of `DropListRef.drop` is now required.
+- * `ContextMenuTracker` has been renamed to `MenuTracker`.
+### material
+- * `MatListOption.checkboxPosition` has been removed. use `togglePosition` instead.
+  * `MatListOptionCheckboxPosition` has been renamed to `MatListOptionTogglePosition`.
+- * `ArrowViewState` has been removed.
+  * `ArrowViewStateTransition` has been removed.
