Description
The "tree" role is being used in this package, but the other required roles do not seem to be. According to W3C, when using ARIA trees, the roles "group" and "treeitem" must be used in conjunction with the "tree" role. These roles seem to be missing from this package, causing a poor accessibility experience (keyboard support for trees is not enabled due to the missing roles). Accessibility tool scans (e.g., Axe) are also failing due to the missing roles.

Research direction
Start by locating where this package applies the "tree" ARIA role and inspect how its tree nodes are rendered. Confirm the missing "group" and "treeitem" roles against the W3C requirements, then verify that keyboard support works and accessibility scans such as Axe no longer report the missing roles.
