Subject: [PATCH] fix(ui): resolve Radio hydration error by deferring context
 validation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Remove SSR check from useRadioGroup hook that caused hydration mismatch
- Always return default values when context is null (SSR + hydration)
- Add useEffect in Radio component to validate context after hydration
- Dev-only warning instead of runtime error during hydration

Fixes "Radio must be used within a RadioGroup" error on playground page
during React hydration. The issue was that during hydration, the context
wasn't available yet even though components were properly wrapped.
