+- Barrido de wrappers publicos Soma frente a providers cerrado:
+  - `DateField.Provider` y `TimeField.Provider` vuelven a materializar su
+    root publico por defecto (`<div {...mergedProps}>`) y aceptan `ref` /
+    `restProps`, coherente con su morfo (`kind: public`,
+    `defaultElement: 'div'`).
+  - `DateField` ya respeta la prop `dir`; la direccion efectiva se pasa al
+    provider y a la navegacion de segmentos en vez de ignorarse y leer solo
+    `soma.prefs`.
+  - `DatePicker`, `DateRangePicker`, `TimePicker` y `TimeRangePicker`
+    mantienen root virtual: sus props root ya no anuncian `PrimitiveDivAttrs`
+    ni `child` con `props: {}`.
+  - `ColorPicker.Area` ya aplica de verdad los overrides locales
+    `xChannel` / `yChannel`; antes los tipos los exponian pero el wrapper los
+    descartaba.
+  - Guardias nuevas en `src/uix/contracts.test.ts` para roots publicos
+    Date/Time Field y roots virtuales picker.
+  - Validado: `npx vitest run src/uix/contracts.test.ts` + tests focales de
+    date/time pickers/fields -> 52 tests OK; `color-picker-provider` -> 5
+    tests OK; `npm run check` -> 0 errores / 0 warnings; `npm run test` ->
+    233 archivos, 2251 tests OK.

 - Soma queda en estado funcionalmente cubierto a nivel provider/runtime:
   `npm run check` -> 0 errores / 0 warnings, `npm run test` -> 233 archivos,
   2242 tests OK, y la guardia de `*-provider.svelte.ts` sin test directo
