Research direction

Start in shiny/ui/_input_check_radio.py at input_checkbox(), then compare its label structure with input_switch(), which the issue links as having a label for attribute. Confirm how the checkbox id and label target are represented, then verify that the rendered checkbox label is associated with its input.
