How do you use a Server Action for form submission and useFormState?
Tests server-client form state orchestration. Outline: write a Server Action that validates and returns errors; pass it to useFormState for state; wire to form action and use useFormStatus for pending UI.
Tests whether you can bridge server mutations and client UI using Next.js progressive enhancement patterns. Outline: first, define an async Server Action that parses and validates form data, returning a serializable error object instead of throwing. Second, pass it to useFormState in a client component to get state and the action wrapper. Third, attach the wrapper to the form action attribute for JavaScript-free submission. Fourth, use useFormStatus in a child component to show pending spinners.
