Add a date and time standard

Changelog11 Sept 2026

1 addition.

New

Add a date and time standard: a formatting module and four components.
@oztix/roadie-core/datetime is a new subpath export. It turns an instant into text and is the single place dates are spelled. Every call takes an explicit timeZone, with no browser fallback, because an event time rendered in the reader's zone is silently wrong for anyone not standing at the venue.
dateStyle and timeStyle are two names for one ladder, full / long / medium / short / iso and long / medium / short / numeric, with presets for each step. Ranges join with the word to rather than a dash, which screen readers skip. The meridiem closes up against the digits, so times read 7:30pm.
Alongside the presets: ranges, durations, countdowns, relative time, and machine readable output. formatMachine carries the zone's offset so a value identifies an instant; formatIso deliberately omits it, for export columns read as local wall-clock. Instants may be a Date or anything carrying epochMilliseconds, and durations may be milliseconds, an ISO 8601 string, or the field object Temporal.Duration exposes, so Temporal values work today.
DateTime, Duration and Countdown are new components. They render a time element and set its machine readable value, which is the part that is easy to get wrong and wrong silently. CalendarTile is the exception: it abbreviates too hard to be an accessible name, so by default it is an aria-hidden div and the date line beside it owns the time. Pass dateTime and it becomes one itself, which is only right where the tile is the sole date in its region. Countdown animates its digits with @number-flow/react, which components now depends on directly rather than asking consumers to install: the root barrel imports it, and a bundler resolves every import before it tree shakes, so a peer would break import { Button } for anyone who had not added it. CalendarTile ships a matching calendar-tile CSS utility for templates that cannot run React.
Four visible changes to the shipped cart widget. Day headers no longer mix an abbreviated weekday with a full month, so Fri, 27 November 2026 becomes Fri 27 Nov 2026. Time and date ranges join with the word to rather than an en dash. Seat runs join with a hyphen rather than an en dash, matching how number ranges are already written elsewhere, so A1–4 becomes A1-4. And a time whose timezone cannot be resolved now renders nothing rather than falling back to the browser's own clock, because a plausible time in the wrong zone is worse than no time at all.
Rebuilds the Intermission faces so tnum reaches every digit. The digits 1, 4, 6 and 9 were left proportional, so any column of numbers drifted as values changed. The faces are served from new CDN URLs.
