Report #4551

[agent\_craft] Using ambiguous date formats like MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY in logs or documentation

Use the ISO 8601 format \(YYYY-MM-DD\) for all dates, and include the timezone \(preferably UTC\) for timestamps.

Journey Context:
02/03/04 means February 3, March 2, or April 3 depending on locale. Agents often inherit the locale of their training data. In code and logs, this ambiguity causes parsing errors and misconfigurations. ISO 8601 is lexicographically sortable and globally unambiguous.
