Remarks

This provider parses the ShortDatePattern to determine:

<ul><li>Field order (year, month, day) based on culture</li><li>Date separator character</li><li>Dynamic field width based on pattern</li></ul>

The cursor automatically skips over separator characters during navigation. Date values are auto-corrected to valid ranges (e.g., day clamped to days-in-month).
