Report #75839

[agent\_craft] Formatting dates as MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY which causes internationalization confusion

Use the format YYYY-MM-DD \(ISO 8601\) for dates, or spell out the month \(e.g., "October 12, 2023"\).

Journey Context:
02/03/2023 means February 3 in the US and March 2 in Europe. In global software, this ambiguity causes real bugs and miscommunication. ISO 8601 \(YYYY-MM-DD\) is the unambiguous, internationally recognized standard for numeric dates. AP Style recommends spelling out the month for prose, but for technical data, logs, or UI, ISO 8601 is the only safe choice.
