[Bug]: Tooltip is missing role="tooltip"

Code of conduct

Impacted component(s)

Tooltip

Library version

1.9.0

Expected behavior

According to the Tooltip documentation, it should have role="tooltip" set on its content. I am expecting to see the role set and for it to appear as tooltip in the accessibility tree.

Actual behavior

The Tooltip component is missing a role of tooltip. It is not present in the accessibility tree and I do not see it in the shadow-root markup. This affects how it is being presented to assistive technology.

The SWC accessibility documentation for the Tooltip component says:

The tooltip is automatically assigned appropriate ARIA attributes:

• role="tooltip" is applied to the tooltip content

But I am not seeing that this is currently true. Was this intentional or a regression?

Screenshots

Example accessibility tree in Chrome from https://opensource.adobe.com/spectrum-web-components/components/tooltip/#overlay shows it as a group:

Inspector markup:
