Research direction

Start by reviewing the unchecked modernization checklist and the existing forms components named in the issue, along with the current Storybook setup. Break the umbrella into focused tasks covering TypeScript, react-select/react-window components, Rollup, examples, and Storybook testing and docs; done means the remaining checklist items and listed component and example coverage are complete.
