 # DateInput component contract
 
-This draft records shipped behavior. It does not approve a new public API, default,
-compatibility promise, ownership boundary, or visual direction.

-| Public contract         | None. API shape and defaults are as shipped; every surface follows the input-field `changeAction`, disabled, and busy contracts.                                                                                                                              |
-| Behavior                | `presentation` selects the picker surface; an omitted value is `adaptive-native`; `presentation` wins over deprecated `nativePicker`; every committed path emits the same controlled ISO-date value and action feedback.                                      |
-| End-user impact         | People type or pick one date using a surface suited to the primary pointer. Disabled and busy fields stay focusable; a busy field keeps its ordinary paint with a Spinner while new commits are blocked.                                                      |
-| Builder impact          | None. `changeAction` runs after `onChange` with optimistic busy feedback on every surface.                                                                                                                                                                    |

-| Review checks           | Reject a surface-mapping change, lost constraint, callback-order change, unlabeled field, native `disabled`, disabled paint on a busy-only field, unreachable disabled reason, changed close behavior, or a theming target placed on the wrong owner.         |

The pointer and bottom-sheet surfaces restore field focus using their shipped timing; the native surface MUST NOT reclaim focus because doing so reopens the OS picker.

-| FR12 | No surface renders native `disabled`. A disabled field MUST stay focusable with `aria-disabled`, block typing, picking, clearing, and opening, describe its disabled reason when one is given, and take disabled paint. While busy (`isLoading` or a pending Action) the pointer and bottom-sheet surfaces expose `aria-disabled` and `aria-busy`, stay focusable, and block new commits; the native surface does the same for `isLoading`, and during a pending Action stays editable so the OS picker remains attached but rejects additional commits until the Action settles. A busy field that is not disabled keeps its ordinary paint and Spinner, shows no hover ring while commits are blocked, and keeps its keyboard focus ring. | `spec:AST-085/FR1–FR6`; `family:input-fields/FR4–FR6`; `family:buttons/FR4`; current source and focused tests | Settled shared rule and verified adoption |

The pointer and bottom-sheet surfaces restore field focus using their shipped timing; the native surface MUST NOT reclaim focus because doing so reopens the OS picker.

+| FR12 | No surface renders native `disabled`. A disabled field MUST stay focusable with `aria-disabled`, block typing, picking, clearing, and opening, describe its disabled reason when one is given, and take disabled paint. While busy (`isLoading` or a pending Action) the pointer and bottom-sheet surfaces expose `aria-disabled` and `aria-busy`, stay focusable, and block new commits; the native surface does the same for `isLoading`, and during a pending Action stays editable so the OS picker remains attached but rejects additional commits until the Action settles. A busy field that is not disabled keeps its ordinary paint and Spinner, shows no hover ring while commits are blocked, and keeps its keyboard focus ring. Caller handlers other than focus and blur MUST NOT run while the field is disabled (`spec:AST-085` FR2). Implementation gap: only a caller `onClick` is skipped while disabled; caller key, paste, and pointer handlers (such as `onKeyDown`, `onKeyUp`, `onPaste`, and `onPointerDown`) still run on every surface, the native field included. | `spec:AST-085/FR1–FR6`; `family:input-fields/FR4–FR6`; `family:buttons/FR4`; current source and focused tests |

+## Current-state impact
+
+- **Caller handlers while disabled (FR12).** Caller key, paste, and pointer
+  handlers run on a disabled field on every surface; only `onClick` is skipped,
+  against `spec:AST-085` FR2.
+- **Fixed field height (FR10).** The field holds the shared element height
+  instead of growing with a set text size, against `spec:AST-102` FR4.
+- **English-only typed parser (FR6).** Typed dates parse only English month
+  names and ASCII digits, so a localized committed value cannot be retyped as
+  shown, against `architecture:internationalization` INV1a and INV8.
+- **Clear control under focus (FR11).** A clear control that unmounts while
+  focused drops focus to the page, against `spec:AST-085` FR4.
+- **Month paging (AR8).** PageUp and PageDown do not page the touch calendar by
+  a month, as AR8 states they do.
