+Fixed `DateInput.Segment` resolving segments by `type`, so segments sharing a type all rendered the first match's text.

+- Fixed `asChild` duplicating the child element's `class`, so `<ark.div class="parent" as-child><span class="child">`
+  rendered `class="child parent child"` instead of `class="parent child"`.
+- Fixed `asChild` applying props to a leading comment node, which silently dropped them when a comment or a false `v-if`
+  preceded the child element.
