Research direction

Start by locating the validation message insertion and configuration handling in the Knockout-Validation codebase. Compare the requested errorElementSelector behavior with the existing validationElement binding and the provided control-group markup. Done means selector-based insertion works without requiring validationElement on the wrapper and preserves the configured message and element classes.
