Steps to reproduce

When a-select component's v-model:value is initialized with an empty string '', the placeholder is not displayed. However, when initialized with undefined or null, the placeholder displays correctly.

What is expected?

The placeholder should be displayed regardless of whether the initial value is an empty string, undefined, or null, as they all represent an unselected state from a UX perspective.

What is actually happening?

• When const value = ref('') - placeholder is not displayed, component width collapses
• When const value = ref() or ref(undefined) - placeholder is displayed correctly
