Report #4256

[agent\_craft] Ambiguous date formatting causing cross-regional confusion

Use 'Month DD, YYYY' \(e.g., April 5, 2023\) for prose, or ISO 8601 \(YYYY-MM-DD\) for technical logs and data. Never use DD/MM vs MM/DD numeric formats.

Journey Context:
04/05/2023 means May 4 in Europe and April 5 in the US. Agents generating logs or emails must avoid numeric-only dates to prevent critical timeline misunderstandings. AP Stylebook recommends spelling out the month, while ISO 8601 is the unambiguous standard for technical contexts.
