Comment (by khokansardar):

 Replying to [comment:3 westonruter]:
 > Adding client-side validation as well would be welcome.
 Thanks for the feedback @westonruter. Added client-side validation on on
 the PR.

 The General Settings form now blocks submission when Custom is selected
 and the date or time format field is empty. Invalid rows use the standard
 admin `form-invalid` styling, focus moves to the first invalid field, and
 the error is announced via `wp.a11y.speak()`.

 This builds on the server-side validation in the first commit. PHPUnit
 tests for `sanitize_option()` continue to pass.
