### Ionic Framework Version

v8.x

### Current Behavior

After canceling out of a datetime component and reopening the view you see the incorrect date displayed as selected even though the value is the correct one.

### Expected Behavior

After canceling out of the datetime view and reopening it the active date should show the actual value and not the canceled one.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. open the datetime view and select a new date and click ok. the button shows correctly
2. reopen the datetime view and select another date but click on cancel this time. the button still shows correctly.
3. reopen the datetime view you see the incorrect date displayed as selected even though the button shows the correct one (and the underlying value is the correct one).

Trace the ion-datetime implementation and existing coverage for its selected date and cancel behavior; done means reopening shows the underlying value rather than the canceled date.
