Description
🙋 Feature Request
😯 Problem to Solve
Because a combobox is essentially a text box (with value selection assistance), a disabled option in the dropdown only makes sense as a hint to the user that a certain value is invalid. If the user wants to manually type that value in, there should be nothing stopping them from doing so.
💁 Proposed Solution
We want to document that disabled options should not be used in a combobox (except as a hint) and that they do not prevent the value from being set. If certain values are invalid, the client should set the error text and error state as needed.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Locate the combobox usage guidance, then document that disabled options are only hints and do not prevent manually entered values; explain that invalid values should use the error text and error state.
