+ * Open the OS-native "choose a folder" dialog and resolve to the selected
+ * absolute path, or null if the user cancelled / no dialog was available.
+ *
+ * This is the genuinely native picker: it spawns the platform's own folder
+ * chooser (WinForms FolderBrowserDialog on Windows, `choose folder` on macOS,
+ * zenity/kdialog on Linux). The Hub runs on loopback on the user's machine, so
+ * it can launch the real dialog itself.
+ *
+ * Implementation notes (kept in lockstep with src/first-run/server.ts, which
+ * proved this out — see the long-form comment there):
+ *  - ASYNC (`spawn`, not `spawnSync`). The dialog blocks until the user
+ *    dismisses it, which can be many seconds. With `spawnSync` the entire Node
+ *    event loop freezes for that whole time — every other Hub HTTP request
+ *    (bootstrap, run polling) stalls and the Hub looks dead. `spawn` keeps the
+ *    server responsive while the dialog is up.
+ *  - Windows needs `-STA` (Single-Threaded Apartment) for FolderBrowserDialog
+ *    to work reliably, plus a hidden TopMost `$owner` form so the picker comes
+ *    to the foreground instead of opening behind the browser window.
+ *  - A hard timeout guarantees the endpoint can never hang forever: if nothing
+ *    is selected within the window (or the spawn wedges) we resolve null and
+ *    the caller degrades to "no change".
+ *  - NON-INTERACTIVE GUARD: a real OS folder dialog blocks waiting for a human.
+ *    In CI / automated UI tests (which DO reach this live endpoint) that would
+ *    hang. When AI_HUB_DISABLE_NATIVE_PICKER is set (or NODE_ENV=test) we skip
+ *    the dialog entirely and resolve null, so the endpoint returns 204 without
+ *    ever popping a window. Real desktop/loopback usage leaves it unset and
+ *    gets the genuine native dialog.
