Comment (by khokansardar):

 Thanks @westonruter for the minimal patch suggestion — that's a much
 cleaner approach. I've updated the PR to drop the custom JS validation
 entirely and instead:
 - Removed novalidate="novalidate" from the <form> in options-general.php
 so the browser's built-in constraint validation fires.
 - Added required to the date_format_custom and time_format_custom inputs.
