Description
The Upload Blobs dialog currently offloads using any Node APIs to an extension provider in order to use Node APIs to manipulate paths. However, we want to avoid this indirection entirely if possible.
Ideas:
- Display a list of full file paths as returned by the native file dialog.
- Provide an alternate API that returns the root directory and base names of the files.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Upload Blobs dialog and the extension-provider handoff described in the issue. Compare the two proposed approaches—displaying native-dialog full paths or returning a root directory with base names—and determine which removes the Node API indirection. Done means the dialog no longer relies on the extension provider to manipulate paths.
