Report #47097

[agent\_craft] Ambiguous date formats causing confusion across locales \(e.g., 04/05/2023\)

Use the format 'Month day, year' \(e.g., April 5, 2023\) in prose, and ISO 8601 \(YYYY-MM-DD\) in code, logs, and technical specs.

Journey Context:
04/05/2023 means April 5 in the US, but May 4 in Europe. This ambiguity causes real bugs. ISO 8601 is locale-independent and sorts lexicographically. Google style guide and ISO standard resolve this.
