+## Bug Analysis: overlay-trigger-directive listenerHost undefined
+
+### Problem Statement
+
+When the `OverlayTriggerDirective`'s `reconnected()` hook is called before the overlay is created, a TypeError occurs: `Cannot read property 'addEventListener' of undefined`.
+
+### Root Cause
+
+**Parent Class (`SlottableRequestDirective`):**
+
+```typescript
+// slottable-request-directive.ts lines 42-52
+override update(part: ElementPart, [template]: Parameters<this['render']>): void {
+    this.template = template;
+    if (this.target !== part.element) {
+        this.target = part.element as HTMLElement;
+        this.renderBefore = this.target.children[0] as HTMLElement;
+    }
+    this.listenerHost = this.target;  // ✓ Sets listenerHost immediately
+    this.init();
+}
+
+// slottable-request-directive.ts lines 66-75
+init(): void {
+    this.listeners?.abort();
+    this.listeners = new AbortController();
+    const { signal } = this.listeners;
+    this.listenerHost.addEventListener(  // ← Uses this.listenerHost
+        'slottable-request',
+        (event: Event) => this.handleSlottableRequest(event as SlottableRequestEvent),
+        { signal }
+    );
+}
+
+// slottable-request-directive.ts lines 95-97
+override reconnected(): void {
+    this.init();  // ← Calls init() which needs listenerHost
+}
+```
+
+**Child Class (`OverlayTriggerDirective`) - WITHOUT FIX:**
+
+```typescript
+// overlay-trigger-directive.ts lines 73-106
+override update(part: ElementPart, [template, options]: Parameters<this['render']>): void {
+    // ... setup code ...
+    if (this.target !== part.element) {
+        this.target = part.element as HTMLElement;
+        newTarget = true;
+    }
+    // ✗ this.listenerHost is NOT set here!
+
+    if (newTarget || newStrategy) {
+        this.strategy = new strategies[triggerInteraction](this.target, {
+            isPersistent: true,
+            handleOverlayReady: (overlay: AbstractOverlay) => {
+                this.listenerHost = this.overlay = overlay;  // ← Only set in async callback
+                this.init();
+            },
+        });
+    }
+    this.strategy.open = options?.open ?? false;
+}
+```
+
+### Bug Trigger Scenario
+
+1. **Initial Render:**
+    - `update()` is called
+    - `this.target` is set
+    - Strategy is created with `handleOverlayReady` callback
+    - **BUT**: `this.listenerHost` is NOT set (only set inside callback)
+    - Callback hasn't fired yet (overlay not created)
+
+2. **Element Removed from DOM:**
+    - `disconnected()` lifecycle hook is called
+    - Listeners are aborted
+
+3. **Element Re-added to DOM:**
+    - `reconnected()` lifecycle hook is called (inherited from parent)
+    - `reconnected()` calls `init()`
+    - `init()` tries to execute: `this.listenerHost.addEventListener(...)`
+    - **ERROR**: `this.listenerHost` is `undefined`!
+
+### When Does This Happen?
+
+This bug occurs in real-world scenarios like:
+
+- React/framework re-rendering that unmounts/remounts components
+- Dynamic DOM manipulation (moving elements)
+- Framework transitions/animations
+- Any case where an element with the directive is temporarily removed and re-added before the overlay is created
+
+### The Fix
+
+```typescript
+override update(part: ElementPart, [template, options]: Parameters<this['render']>): void {
+    // ... setup code ...
+    if (this.target !== part.element) {
+        this.target = part.element as HTMLElement;
+        newTarget = true;
+    }
+    // ✓ Set listenerHost to target as a fallback, matching parent class behavior
+    // This ensures reconnected() hook can safely call init() before overlay is ready
+    this.listenerHost = this.target;
+
+    if (newTarget || newStrategy) {
+        this.strategy = new strategies[triggerInteraction](this.target, {
+            isPersistent: true,
+            handleOverlayReady: (overlay: AbstractOverlay) => {
+                this.listenerHost = this.overlay = overlay;  // ← Updates to overlay when ready
+                this.init();
+            },
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Why This Fix Works
+
+1. **Immediate Safety**: `this.listenerHost = this.target` provides a valid HTMLElement immediately
+2. **Matches Parent Pattern**: The parent class sets `this.listenerHost` in `update()`, we do the same
+3. **Progressive Enhancement**: When the overlay is created, `listenerHost` is upgraded to the overlay element
+4. **No Breaking Changes**: Existing behavior is preserved, only prevents the undefined error
+
+### Verification
+
+The fix has been verified to:
+
+- ✅ Pass all linting checks
+- ✅ Follow parent class conventions
+- ✅ Not introduce TypeScript errors
+- ✅ Handle reconnected() lifecycle safely
+- ✅ Maintain backward compatibility
