Stencil boundary

fs-separator keeps its public host in Light DOM. The host owns the separator role, orientation, dimensions, and consumer content; there is no internal drawing element to isolate and no CSS part. Classes, inline styles, and ARIA attributes apply directly to the host. The component does not add a Tab stop.

The Base UI theme is built in; select data-fs-theme="base-ui" on an ancestor to enable the optional theme. The Hero uses a vertical separator; consumers own its layout and can override --fs-separator-width and --fs-separator-background-color. Host and child content remain accessible to ordinary CSS selectors.

Anatomy
