[Bug Report][3.7.4] v-autocomplete placeholder text missing after manual reset

[agentschmitt]

Environment

Vuetify Version: 3.7.4
Vue Version: 3.5.13
Browsers: Chrome 131.0.0.0
OS: Windows 10

Steps to reproduce

Select a value in the autocomplete
Reset the value by updating the model in code (dont click the clear action)

Expected Behavior

The autocomplete shows placeholder text
The autocomplete shows no clear icon, cause we have no value selected!

Actual Behavior

The autocomplete shows as empty
The autocomplete shows a clear icon on hover

Reproduction Link

some workaround i found is to set the current selected value used for v-model also as key for the combobox, which will make vue rerender it ony every selection change :(

I believe the first point of the issue is an expected behavior according to this PR.

This also goes for the placeholder resetting etc. The element isn't "reset" even when you manually set the v-model to null.

Calling $refs.myForm.reset() seems like a good-enough workaround for now.
Or even easier... track v-model:search and null one more ref search.value = null (demo)
