WalkthroughChangesTextArea component
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The migration currently leaves custom validity stale after failed validation, omits maxLength enforcement, and declares validation results that the runtime does not handle, so users may see cleared errors while submission remains blocked or experience incorrect validation behavior. These concrete correctness issues should be fixed before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 132-146: In the fallback branch of the TextArea validation flow,
clear the textarea’s custom validity before calling
setErrorFromValidityState(textarea.validity), so native validity—including
required errors—can be evaluated correctly. Apply this change at
src/components/form-elements/text-area/TextArea.tsx lines 132-146 and
src/components/form-elements/text-area/TextArea.js.flow lines 123-136; both
sites require the same direct update.
- Around line 150-183: Update TextArea.tsx lines 150-183 and TextArea.js.flow
lines 141-174: destructure maxLength from props in each wrapper and forward it
as maxLength to TextAreaCore, preserving the existing rendering and validation
behavior.
- Around line 34-35: Align TextAreaProps.validation in TextArea.tsx and
TextArea.js.flow so both declarations return the same synchronous TextAreaError
object shape consumed by the TextArea runtime; remove unsupported string and
Promise result forms rather than adding normalization.

Align TextAreaProps.validation with the runtime result shape.
TextArea.tsx reads error.code and error.message synchronously. The documented string and Promise results in TextArea.js.flow are not supported at runtime. Define the same object result type in both declarations, or normalize and await those documented result forms before reading their fields.

Clear custom validity before native validation.
If optional custom validation first fails and the user then clears the value, the fallback path keeps the previous custom validity message. The UI error clears, but the textarea remains natively invalid. The same path also skips the native required error when a required empty value has a validator that returns null.

Forward maxLength to TextAreaCore.
Both wrappers declare maxLength but do not pass it to TextAreaCore. The native maximum-length constraint and validity.tooLong state therefore never apply.
