Summary of Changes

Hello @nuke-ellington, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces significant refactoring to boolean properties across numerous core components, aiming for a more consistent and predictable API where boolean properties default to false. It also cleans up the codebase by removing several deprecated components and properties, ensuring the library remains modern and maintainable. These changes are part of a broader update to version 4, which includes an upgrade to Angular 20.

Highlights

• Boolean Property Refactoring: Many boolean properties across various components have been renamed to standardize their behavior, often switching from a positive assertion (e.g., showX) to a negative one (e.g., hideX or disableX). Concurrently, the default values for these properties have been changed from true to false to align with a more intuitive 'opt-in' behavior.
• Deprecated Component Removal: The deprecated ix-validation-tooltip and ix-input-group components have been entirely removed, along with their associated code and usage examples in test applications. The Angular-specific theme switcher service has also been removed, encouraging the use of the core @siemens/ix theme switcher.
• Property and Type Clean-up: Several specific properties and type values have been removed or renamed: the danger type value in ix-message-bar is replaced by alarm, the unused enableSettings property in ix-menu is gone, and redundant showHour, showMinutes, showSeconds properties in ix-time-picker and ix-datetime-picker have been removed as their functionality is now derived from the format string.
• Breaking Changes Documentation: A comprehensive BREAKING_CHANGES/v4.md document has been updated to detail all these changes, including migration steps for affected components and the new Angular 20 requirement for @siemens/ix-angular.

Code Review

This pull request is a large refactoring effort to align boolean properties across the library, making them default to false. The changes are extensive and touch many components, documentation, and tests. The core logic of the refactoring appears sound. My review focuses on ensuring the documentation and examples are updated correctly and consistently, and I've found several typos and inconsistencies that should be addressed for clarity and correctness.

Code Review

This is a large but valuable refactoring that improves API consistency by making boolean properties default to false. The changes are extensive and mostly correct. I've found a few typos in the changeset files and breaking changes documentation, a logic error in the breadcrumb component, and some inconsistencies in updating example files and tests. Addressing these will ensure the release is solid.
