Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

With an HTML-only component, using webc:root on an element to enable class merging with the host element effectively turns it into a dynamic component because the host element isn't stripped away. You can fix this by using webc:root="override" but this feels like an extra strep the user shouldn't need to take.

Describe the solution you'd like

If the 11ty logic already knows when something is an HTML-only component, then adding webc:root shouldn't cause the host component to no longer be stripped away.

Research direction

Start by tracing the logic that identifies HTML-only components and handles webc:root. Verify how class merging currently behaves with webc:root and webc:root="override"; done means the host element is stripped while its classes still merge without requiring the override value.
