💡 What

This PR replaces the div containers that were manually grouped using role="group" / role="radiogroup" and aria-labelledby with native HTML <fieldset> and <legend> elements. It updates the CSS to reset default fieldset browser styling and maintain the existing visual design seamlessly. The associated tests were updated to assert on these semantic tags rather than ARIA attributes.

🎯 Why

Native HTML tags like <fieldset> and <legend> provide form control grouping out-of-the-box and are universally better supported by all screen readers and assistive technologies compared to applying manual ARIA bindings on non-semantic divs.

📸 Before/After

The visual design remains identical, as the fieldset default stylings (border, padding, margin) were properly stripped out.

♿ Accessibility

This change improves keyboard and screen-reader accessibility by utilizing semantic HTML grouping out-of-the-box instead of relying purely on explicit ARIA links.
