Contributor guide
Research direction
Run the linked Angular 15 and Angular 14 StackBlitz reproductions in Chrome and compare the datetime-local input behavior. Trace the Angular Material input handling responsible for the calendar icon and pop-up. Done means Angular Material 15 restores the expected calendar affordance and pop-up for datetime-local inputs without regressing other input types.
