bug(lit): v0.8 interactive components missing requestUpdate after setData

[ppazosp]

Description

While fixing #597 (Slider value not updating) in #1022, I discovered that other v0.8 interactive components have the same latent bug: they call processor.setData() without requestUpdate(), meaning the component does not re-render after the data model is updated.

Affected components

Component	File	Has requestUpdate()?
Slider	renderers/lit/src/0.8/ui/slider.ts	Yes (fixed in #1022)
MultipleChoice	renderers/lit/src/0.8/ui/multiple-choice.ts	Yes (already had it)
TextField	renderers/lit/src/0.8/ui/text-field.ts	No
DateTimeInput	renderers/lit/src/0.8/ui/datetime-input.ts	No
CheckBox	renderers/lit/src/0.8/ui/checkbox.ts	No

Why it's not immediately visible

• TextField: The native `` element displays typed characters regardless of Lit re-renders, so the bug is masked. However, any other component or label bound to the same data path will not update.
• CheckBox / DateTimeInput: These would need testing to confirm visible impact.

Suggested fix

In #1022 I added a updateBoundData() helper to the Root base class that encapsulates the setData() + requestUpdate() pattern. The affected components can be refactored to use it, the change would be minimal for each.

Root cause

The deeper issue is that SignalWatcher does not pick up changes made through SignalMap.set() during processor.setData(). This might be worth investigating separately in web_core, but in the meantime requestUpdate() is a reliable workaround (and already used by MultipleChoice).

Hi @ppazosp, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We really appreciate you flagging the other affected components. Would you like to raise a PR for this?

[ppazosp]

Thanks for the trust, Varun! I'll open a PR for this right now.

PR is up: #1034

It depends on #1022 since it uses the updateBoundData() helper added there.
