Subject: [PATCH] fix(admin-events): polish form papercuts

- Hide the location field's static help text when a validation error is
  shown so the two near-identical messages stop stacking.
- Replace `process.client` with `import.meta.client` (Nuxt 3+ pattern).
- Accept either String or Date for EventTicketPurchase.eventStartDate;
  the parent passes the API's ISO string, which was logging a Vue prop
  type warning on every public event page render.
