### Description

Represents an individual selectable item within an eui-dropdown menu. Implements keyboard navigation and focus management through the CDK Highlightable interface. Supports nested submenus and active/focused visual states for accessibility. Typically used as a child element within eui-dropdown to create menu options.

### Basic menu item

Example :

    <eui-dropdown>
      <button euiButton>Menu</button>
      <eui-dropdown-item>Edit</eui-dropdown-item>
      <eui-dropdown-item [isActive]="true">Delete</eui-dropdown-item>
    </eui-dropdown>

### Accessibility

- Implements menuitem role for proper screen reader announcement
- Supports roving tabindex for keyboard navigation
- Focus state is visually indicated and programmatically managed

### Notes

- Use `isActive` to highlight the currently selected item
- Nest `eui-dropdown` inside item via `subDropdown` for hierarchical menus
