Environment Details:

Application Name: Microsoft MakeCode
URL: https://makecode.microbit.org/beta
windows Edition: Windows 11 Enterprise Insider Preview(24H2)
OS Build: 26544.1000

Repro Steps:

3. Home page will open.
4. Navigate "New Project" option and select it.
5. Editor screen will open.

7. Tab to "Release version" button under Release Zone and press enter key.
8. "Pick a release version" dialog will open.
9. Tab to the radio buttons.
10. Observe the issue.

Actual:

The visual label "Choose a release version that describes the changes you made to the code" is not programmatically associated as a group label for the related radio buttons, and the "Advanced" checkbox is also not properly grouped with its associated controls.

Expected Result:

The radio buttons should be programmatically grouped using appropriate semantics (such as fieldset and legend, or equivalent ARIA grouping), and the "Advanced" checkbox should also be properly associated with its related controls so screen readers can announce the label, role, and grouping context accurately.

User Impact:

Screen reader users may not understand the purpose or relationship of the radio buttons and checkbox with their associated content, making the form confusing to navigate and increasing the likelihood of incorrect selections.
