Research direction

Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction, particularly app/select-overview-example.ts, and trace MatSelect.valueChange for user and programmatic value changes. Done means setting MatSelect.value from code emits the expected valueChange event, while preserving the existing user-selection behavior.
