### How does Natural Language Date Field handle reduced motion?

Natural Language Date Field reads the motion preference in its React source through useReducedMotion(). Preference-dependent expressions in index.tsx: duration: reduced ? 0.08 : 0.16; reduced ? \{ opacity: 0 \} : \{ opacity: 0, scale: 0.94, y: -4 \}; reduced ? \{ opacity: 0 \} : \{ opacity: 0, scale: 0.94, y: -4, transition: \{ duration: 0.1, ease: EASE \} \}. Check the full implementation, shared styles and selected port with reduced motion enabled; these observations do not establish that every animation stops.
