`interactiveChips` now exposes the current selection as the combobox's **value** so screen readers announce it on focus.

| The input stayed empty while chips carried the selection, so screen readers announced the focused field as blank (WCAG 4.1.2). | The combobox value now holds a short summary such as _"Chip one and 3 others"_, kept in sync across the menu, chip **×**, and keyboard removal. |

> Trade-off: because the input now carries the summary, type-to-search and Backspace-to-chip are unavailable while a selection exists.

## The problem

A multi-select Dropdown shows the selected values as **chips rendered next to the input**. By default these chips are purely visual: the only way to remove one is to click its **×** with a mouse.
