## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->
Checkbox's render function applies the `label-text-wrapper-hidden` css
class when there is no label text to prevent extra margin from being
added. The render function is not re-evaluated if the label is updated.
This causes a problem in Angular where dynamic variables get applied
after the page is loaded, and a checkbox using a variable as a label
gets stuck with its label hidden until something else triggers a
re-render, e.g. ticking the box.
## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->
- The checkbox will be re-rendered, and css classes will be updated,
when the label text is changed.
- Updated tests to check that the label is visible after changing from
blank to having content.
## Does this introduce a breaking change?

- [ ] Yes
- [X] No

<!--
  If this introduces a breaking change:
1. Describe the impact and migration path for existing applications
below.
  2. Update the BREAKING.md file with the breaking change.
3. Add "BREAKING CHANGE: [...]" to the commit description when merging.

## What is the current behavior?
Checkbox and toggle components are not validated to be ticked/on in
`packages/angular/test/base/src/app/lazy/template-form`. This prevents
the error text from being displayed. While they have the `required`
attribute, this only applies to accessibility for
[checkbox](https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/checkbox#required) and
[toggle](https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/toggle#required).

## What is the new behavior?
- Use an Angular validator directive for checkbox and toggle.
- Make template-form an Angular module so the validator directive can be
imported.

## Does this introduce a breaking change?

- [ ] Yes
- [X] No

Issue number: internal

---------

## What is the current behavior?
In Android native, when a user places a day in focus and then changes
the month by dragging the month, the div previous on focus remains in
focus in the new month.

## What is the new behavior?
After changing the month, the focus is removed from the active element
and placed on the calendar


## Does this introduce a breaking change?

- [ ] Yes

…verOptions (#31022)

Issue number: resolves #31012

---------

<!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an
issue. -->

<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,
etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. -->

## What is the current behavior?
`ModalOptions` and `PopoverOptions` in `@ionic/angular` are non-generic
type aliases. Using `ModalOptions<typeof MyComponent>` causes a
typescript error, even though the core `@ionic/core` types accept a
generic parameter.

## What is the new behavior?
`ModalOptions` and `PopoverOptions` now forward the generic type
parameter from their core counterparts, allowing usage like`
ModalOptions<typeof MyComponent>`. The default parameter preserves
backward compatibility and existing code using ModalOptions without a
generic should continue to work.

## Does this introduce a breaking change?

- [ ] Yes
- [X] No

## Other information

This was the initial and intended behavior, but got broken in
#30899
unintentionally. This PR fixes the issue and creates a test to ensure it
doesn't happen again.

Current dev build:
```
8.8.2-dev.11773931429.15b2a51c

## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->

While working on the migration for the spinner to Ionic Modular, I
noticed that we had a [Transform test
page](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/2b5b9137fc164c2f3305e493510a884c0afbfcf0/core/src/components/spinner/test/transform/index.html#L5)
without any context of why it was there. I found out that it's meant for
a [bug](#19247) that
was reported in v4 and we did have a
[test](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/pull/24643/changes#diff-7b7ff84d3845fbde015775aa2da960310e80f79ec01b1f4a5957d751eddce7c9R1)
for it at some point but it was removed at a later date because it was
[discovered](#25259)
that it wasn't doing anything.

So we don't have any coverage of it if there's a regression.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

- Added a test to prevent a regression

## Does this introduce a breaking change?

- [ ] Yes
- [x] No

<!--
  If this introduces a breaking change:
1. Describe the impact and migration path for existing applications
below.
  2. Update the BREAKING.md file with the breaking change.
3. Add "BREAKING CHANGE: [...]" to the commit description when merging.
