Summary

Review follow-ups on #36, all in @constructive-io/blocks-ui.

DateTimePickerBlock displayed a zoned ISO-8601 value trimmed to datetime-local's YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm, then wrote that trimmed string straight back — so editing a field once turned 2026-08-22T10:30:00+02:00 into a zone-less 2026-08-22T11:45, silently shifting the instant for anything downstream (Postgres timestamptz reinterprets it in the server zone). The zone the stored value carried is now captured and reapplied:

const zone = /(?:Z|[+-]\d{2}:?\d{2})$/.exec(raw)?.[0] ?? '';
// '2026-08-22T11:45' + '+02:00' -> '2026-08-22T11:45:00+02:00'

A value that arrives without a zone stays zone-less; seconds are added back only when the input omits them.

NumberInputBlock used Number(event.target.value), which stores NaN for any value the browser reports as unparseable. It now keeps null for 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).

Two tests added to packages/blocks-ui/src/__tests__/registry.test.tsx covering zone-preserving write-back and the absent-number path.

🧹 Nitpicks (1) — 🟢 1 low
  • 🟢 zonedValue always resets stored seconds to :00 (widgets.tsx:50) — zonedValue always appends :00 seconds because local is capped at 16 characters, so the local.length > 16 guard never fires (packages/blocks-ui/src/widgets.tsx:50).

The change introduces two new value-normalization helpers in packages/blocks-ui/src/widgets.tsx used by the site sidebar's number and datetime-local widgets, and adds regression tests for them in packages/blocks-ui/src/__tests__/registry.test.tsx.

Files Change
packages/blocks-ui/src/widgets.tsx Adds numberValue and zonedValue helpers to normalize numeric and datetime-local input before writing to the document model.
packages/blocks-ui/src/__tests__/registry.test.tsx Adds regression tests covering the new value-normalization behavior.
apps/blocks/src/components/site/site-sidebar.tsx Wires the new helpers into the sidebar's number and datetime widgets.

Two defects were found in the new helpers: numberValue stores non-finite input as its raw string instead of null, and zonedValue always resets stored seconds to :00 because its minute-precision guard is unreachable.

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.

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.
