Description
### Provide a general summary of the feature here
`` does not appear to work correctly with ``.
When a directory is selected, the native file input works correctly by itself. However, once wrapped inside ``, the control still displays “No files selected”.
```jsx
Select a directory
```
This is particularly important for RSC + Server Action workflows, because this pattern provides several advantages:
- The selected files are available directly in `onSubmit`.
- The dialog can remain a pure RSC implementation.
- Validation errors can be displayed automatically through ``.
- The flow works naturally with uncontrolled components and Server Actions.
- The dialog remains loosely coupled and can be split into multiple components when needed.
At the moment, the `Picker` component does not provide these advantages.
### 🤔 Expected Behavior?
After selecting a directory, the input should behave like a normal native file input and display something like:
```txt
12 files selected
```
### 😯 Current Behavior
After selecting a directory, the input still shows:
```txt
No files selected
```
even though the files are actually available in the form submission.
### 💁 Possible Solution
Maybe this requires:
- proper support for `` inside ``, or
- a dedicated `` component, or
- a more generic `` wrapper that works with native file inputs.
### 🔦 Context
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start the app and open `localhost:3000`.
2. Click the “Select a directory” button.
3. Select a local directory.
4. Notice that the UI still shows “No files selected”.
