Report #2422

[agent\_craft] Formatting dates as XX/XX/XXXX which causes transatlantic confusion

Use the format Month DD, YYYY \(e.g., October 24, 2024\) or ISO 8601 \(YYYY-MM-DD\).

Journey Context:
05/06/2024 means June 5th in Europe and May 6th in the US. This ambiguity can cause catastrophic misconfigurations in scheduling or deployments. ISO 8601 is unambiguous and machine-readable; the spelled-out month is unambiguous for humans. Never use localized numeric formats in global technical communication.
