## What is the current behavior?
When an input with a password toggle is given `disabled` or `readonly`,
hiding the password toggle causes a layout shift as it shrinks the
height of the input component.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->
- Password toggle is given `visibility: hidden` instead of removing it
from the DOM with `display: none` so it retains it's space but is still
hidden and still removed from the accessibility tree.

<!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an
issue. -->

<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,
etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. -->

## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->

Currently, when a child modal is present and a parent modal is somehow
dismissed, the child modal stays open. This can cause issues in some
frameworks like React and Angular, where this cuts the connection to the
child modal and it can no longer be dismissed programmatically.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

This change enables modals to identify their children and close the
children when they're closed. This prevents orphaned modals that can
cause a poor UX. Note: This fix is only for inline modals, which is the
biggest cause of the above issue.

…ling (#30541)

Issue number: resolves #30459

---------

## What is the current behavior?
1. Typing `"12345"` in a 4-box input-otp with `type="text"` is
incorrectly triggering autofill detection on Android, causing `"45"` to
be distributed across the first two boxes instead of replacing the `"4"`
with the `"5"`.

**Current Behavior**: Type `"12345"` → `["4", "5", "", ""]` (incorrectly
distributed)
**Expected Behavior**: Type `"12345"` → `["1", "2", "3", "5"]`
(correctly replaces last character)

2. Typing an invalid character (like `"w"` when `type="number"`) in an
input box with a value is inserted, ignoring the input validation.

**Current Behavior**: Type `"2"` in the first box, focus it again, type
`"w"` → `"2w"` appears
**Expected Behavior**: Type `"2"` in the first box, focus it again, type
`"w"` → `"2"` remains (invalid character rejected)

## What is the new behavior?
- Fixes autofill detection on Android devices
- Fixes invalid character insertion in filled input boxes
- Improves cursor position handling when typing in a filled box
- Adds e2e tests for more coverage

---------

<!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an
issue. -->

<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,
etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. -->

## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->

Currently, when the element an ion-modal was presented from is removed,
the modal stays presented and can be broken depending on the framework.
This is unlike #30540, where children of open modals were being kept
open. In this case, specifically the DOM element is being removed for
whatever reason and the modal is staying open.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

We're now identifying our parent component on load and watching it with
a mutation observer to determine if it gets removed from the DOM. If it
does, we trigger a dismiss. This, conveniently, works nicely with #30540
and will dismiss all children and grandchildren as well.

The issue this resolves was already marked closed, but on closer
inspection I determined that was a mistake. I believed this issue was
related to another one I was dealing with and it is, but it wasn't quite
the same.

After this issue is merged, I believe we will have handled all avenues
of possibly ending up with broken modals because of parent elements or
modals being removed.

<!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an

<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,
etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. -->

## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->
If the nested content of an ion-item is conditionally rendered and goes
from containing zero interactive elements to one or more, a render is
not triggered in Angular and the item does not behave correctly for one
or more nested inputs.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

- A mutation observer is created in `connectedCallback()` to watch for
changes in item's child list. When the `childList` changes, two pieces
of state that track whether the item needs to be interactive and whether
there are multiple interactive elements are updated.
- Add `disconnectedCallback()` and logic to disconnect Mutation
Observer.
- Create new function `totalNestedInputs()` with logic from existing
`setMultipleInputs` function to be used for both `setMultipleInputs` and
new function `setIsInteractive`.

## Other information

<!-- Any other information that is important to this PR such as

I opted for the MutationObserver over a `slotchange` listener because
the `slotchange` fires synchronously on any slot within the shadowRoot,
and the MutationObserver fires once on the item element itself. I
attempted to add the minimum amount of logic to achieve this but there
may be a more elegant solution that combines what `multipleInputs` and
`isInteractive` are doing but requires more changes to existing code.

<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,

## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->

Currently, if you have multiple card modals open in portrait view and
then transition to landscape, the background will not be transformed
properly and will not cover the entire screen as expected.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

Now, we're correctly targeting the right element and will transform it
as expected. This allows a more consistent UX for these transitions.

and
[browserContext.addCookies()](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-add-cookies).
This property allows to save and restore partitioned cookies. See [CHIPS
MDN
article](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Privacy/Guides/Privacy_sandbox/Partitioned_cookies)
for more information. Note that browsers have different support and
defaults for cookie partitioning.

- New option `noSnippets` to disable code snippets in the html report.

  export default defineConfig({
    reporter: [['html', { noSnippets: true }]]
  });
  ```

- New property `location` in test annotations, for example in
[testResult.annotations](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-testresult#test-result-annotations)

It shows where the annotation like `test.skip` or `test.fixme` was
added.

#### Command Line

- New option `--user-data-dir` in multiple commands. You can specify the
same user data dir to reuse browsing state, like authentication, between
sessions.

  ```bash

  ```

- Option `-gv` has been removed from the `npx playwright test` command.
Use `--grep-invert` instead.

`npx playwright codegen` instead.

#### Miscellaneous

- Support for Node.js 16 has been removed.
- Support for Node.js 18 has been deprecated, and will be removed in the
future.

#### Browser Versions

- Chromium 139.0.7258.5

## What is the current behavior?
On desktop Safari and Android the segment view is not switching to the
right segment content when the height is dynamically set or read in as
0. This can be reproduced in the following StackBlitz on Android:
https://6dhropnr-aheyyprl.stackblitz.io/

## What is the new behavior?
- Sets `min-height` to `1px` on `ion-segment-content` so that it
continues to work with a dynamically set height
- Adds an e2e test for Safari to verify the correct content is displayed
when it contains a dynamically loaded image

## Does this introduce a breaking change?
