Report #82015

[agent\_craft] Using localized date formats that cause international ambiguity

Always use the ISO 8601 format \(YYYY-MM-DD\) for dates in documentation, code, and UI strings.

Journey Context:
01/02/2023 means February 1st in the US and January 2nd in Europe. Agents generating localized formats will inevitably confuse a subset of users. ISO 8601 is unambiguous and standard in computing.
