/**
 * USA Character Count Web Component
 *
 * ARCHITECTURE: Pure Lit Implementation (USWDS Behavior Disabled)
 * The USWDS character-count JavaScript behavior directly manipulates textContent
 * which destroys Lit's ChildPart markers in Light DOM. This component implements
 * 100% behavioral parity with USWDS through Lit's reactive system instead.
 *
 * @element usa-character-count
 * @fires character-count-change - Dispatched when character count changes
 *
 * @see README.mdx - Complete API documentation, usage examples, and implementation notes
 * @see CHANGELOG.mdx - Component version history and breaking changes
 * @see TESTING.mdx - Testing documentation and coverage reports
 *
