Research direction

Start by running the MAUI sample and opening SemanticsPage with Narrator enabled. Reproduce the missing hint announcement on the activity indicator, progress bar, and slider, then trace their Windows accessibility behavior. Done means the semantic hint is announced for all three controls.
