/**
* ConformRadioGroup — RadioGroup wired to Conform.
*
* Binds a string Conform field to the quebi RadioGroup: derives name, form,
* required, default selection, and validity from the field metadata and renders
* inline errors. Pass the options (Radio) as children.
*
* The name goes on the group, not on each Radio — react-aria puts it on every
* native radio input beneath, which is what makes exactly one value submit.
*
* With nothing chosen, though, a radio group submits *nothing*: an unchecked
* radio is not a successful control, so the name is absent from `FormData`
* altogether. For a string field that is the difference between the schema's
* own "Pick a plan" and valibot's internal `Invalid key: Expected "plan" but
* received undefined`, and no schema the consumer can write fixes it —
* `@conform-to/valibot` coerces both `""` and absent to `undefined` inside the
* pipe, so the message only differs by which one arrives. Submitting `""` puts
* the key back and the author's message is the one that shows.
*
* That is what the hidden input below is: an empty-string stand-in for the
* unchecked group, the same job react-aria's own `HiddenSelect` gives its
* leading `<option value="">` (which is how `ConformSelect` and
* `ConformChoiceBox` already avoid this). It is rendered *only* while nothing
* is selected, because a radio and a sentinel under one name would put two
* entries in `FormData` and Conform parses a repeated key as an array — the
* string field would arrive as `["", "pro"]`. Hence the mirrored selection
* state: the group stays uncontrolled (a native reset then restores the radios
* themselves), and react-aria's `useFormReset` routes that reset back through
* `onChange`, so the sentinel comes back with them.
*
* `type="hidden"` is deliberate here, unlike the `hidden` attribute the
* registered `BaseControl` inputs use (see `conform-time-field`): this input is
* not a Conform control and must never be written to. Conform skips
* `type="hidden"` inputs when it applies form values, which is exactly the
* treatment a sentinel wants.
