This PR adds value-round-tripping helpers (numberValue, zonedValue) for the site sidebar's numeric and datetime widgets, plus regression tests in the registry test suite.

🟡 bug · medium
numberValue stores non-finite input as a string
numberValue returns the raw string for any non-finite input, so '1e' is stored as '1e' in the numeric field rather than null (packages/blocks-ui/src/widgets.tsx:41). The new test fires '1e' and expects { reading_time: null }, so the assertion fails and the helper's string fallback can inject a non-numeric value into a number-typed document field.
📋 Prompt for AI Agents
In packages/blocks-ui/src/widgets.tsx line 41, numberValue returns the raw string for non-finite input, which contradicts the new test in registry.test.tsx (line 170) that expects null and can store a string in the numeric reading_time field. Change return Number.isFinite(parsed) ? parsed : raw; to return Number.isFinite(parsed) ? parsed : null; so unparseable input is stored as null, keeping the field value number | null and making the test pass.
Summary
Review follow-ups on #36, all in
@constructive-io/blocks-ui.DateTimePickerBlockdisplayed a zoned ISO-8601 value trimmed todatetime-local'sYYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm, then wrote that trimmed string straight back — so editing a field once turned2026-08-22T10:30:00+02:00into a zone-less2026-08-22T11:45, silently shifting the instant for anything downstream (Postgrestimestamptzreinterprets it in the server zone). The zone the stored value carried is now captured and reapplied:A value that arrives without a zone stays zone-less; seconds are added back only when the input omits them.
NumberInputBlockusedNumber(event.target.value), which storesNaNfor any value the browser reports as unparseable. It now keepsnullfor absent and only commits finite numbers.Also: the sidebar's Application group label counted two static links when the group has three (Feature packs, Console Kit, JSON documents).
