Report #60790

[agent\_craft] Formatting dates ambiguously in logs or documentation

Always use the ISO 8601 format \(YYYY-MM-DD\) for dates in technical documentation, logs, and APIs.

Journey Context:
04/05/2023 means April 5 in the US, and May 4 in Europe. This ambiguity causes real bugs and miscommunications. ISO 8601 is the universal standard for unambiguous date representation in tech and is explicitly mandated by major developer style guides to eliminate localization confusion.
