Research direction

Open the linked CodePen reproduction and start at the Datetime component's handling of the initialViewDate prop. Compare the behavior when the value is a Date with the reported DateTime-format string. Done means the picker shows the supplied date and time when initialViewDate is provided as a string, while preserving the existing Date behavior.
