Accessibility
- Command behavior and keyboard interaction come from cmdk; use meaningful item values and provide clear visible labels for commands.
- In `CommandDialog`, the title and description are rendered in a screen-reader-only DialogHeader and can be customized with `title` and `description`.
- The search input does not add a label itself. Provide an accessible name using the input props supported by cmdk, such as `aria-label`.
- The search and check icons are included by the component; do not rely on the icons alone to communicate the input purpose or item state.
