Use directory question suggestion as placeholder/default, not pre-filled value #190

Description

@peterpadberg

Problem

The directory selection question currently comes with a value already filled in. This forces users to manually delete the suggestion if they want to enter a different directory. This behavior is unintuitive and unfriendly—placeholders or defaults should suggest a path, not automatically populate the field.

Suggested Solution

Change the implementation so that the suggestion appears as a placeholder or default value, not as a pre-filled value. The input box should be empty initially, with the suggestion visible as faded placeholder text. This allows users to quickly enter their own value without having to delete the suggestion first.

Benefits

  • Improves user experience and intuitiveness
  • Reduces friction for users who want a directory other than the suggestion

Acceptance Criteria

  • Suggestion is shown as placeholder or default, not as a set value
  • Input box starts empty until the user types
  • No value is present unless the user enters one
