Need
No native file chooser. There's alert for messages but nothing to pick a file/folder — so open, save-as, import/export, and a file manager's "New in…" flows can't be built. Backends all expose one: NSOpenPanel/NSSavePanel, GtkFileChooser, GetOpenFileNameW/IFileDialog.
Proposal
open_file_dialog(title, start_dir) -> string, save_file_dialog(title, suggested_name) -> string, pick_folder(title) -> string (empty on cancel). Honor AETHER_UI_HEADLESS (return empty) so CI doesn't hang — consistent with the alert/modal guidance in LLM.md.
Impact
Every document app needs open/save. Found building aether-lang-org/aefyles: fyles' "New Folder" dialog can't be ported (no input dialog / folder picker).
