Description

Right now AccessKit kind of forces you to create a wrapper node/widget around your tree with the specific purpose of having the Window role. It would be nice if AccessKit provided that role for you by default, asking you to create Window nodes only for multi-window setups or other special cases.

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the accessibility tree construction and the current requirement for an explicit Window wrapper, then inspect related tests or entry points. Done means a single-window tree receives a Window role by default while explicit Window nodes remain available for multi-window and special cases.
