Description
Describe the bug
<script lang="ts">
import { FormSchema } from './ids';
import { addId } from './ids.remote';
</script>
<form {...addId.preflight(FormSchema)}>
<fieldset>
{#each ['windows', 'mac', 'linux'] as os, index}
<label>
<!-- windows is not checked -->
<input {...addId.fields.operatingSystem.as('radio', os)} defaultChecked={!index} />
{os}
</label>
{/each}
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
{#each ['windows', 'mac', 'linux'] as os, index}
<label>
<!-- windows is checked -->
<input type="radio" name="os" value={os} defaultChecked={!index} />
{os}
</label>
{/each}
</fieldset>
</form>
Happens on both Firefox and Chrome.
<form method="POST" action="?/remote=14dkmo%2FaddId">
<fieldset>
<!-- dev tools shows that it is checked, but the UI does not reflect this -->
<label><input name="operatingSystem" type="radio" value="windows" checked="" /> windows</label
><label><input name="operatingSystem" type="radio" value="mac" /> mac</label
><label><input name="operatingSystem" type="radio" value="linux" /> linux</label>
</fieldset>

Research direction
Run the linked reproduction at https://github.com/hyunbinseo/svelte-kit-template/tree/mre-kit-14707 and compare the two fieldsets using defaultChecked. Start by tracing how the form markup for remote functions becomes the generated HTML shown in the issue. Done means defaultChecked visibly selects the first radio in the remote-function form, as it does in the ordinary form.
