Report #92788

[agent\_craft] Formatting dates ambiguously causing transatlantic confusion

Use the format Month DD, YYYY \(e.g., January 1, 2024\) in prose, or ISO 8601 \(YYYY-MM-DD\) in code, logs, and tables.

Journey Context:
01/02/2024 means Feb 1 in the UK and Jan 2 in the US. Ambiguity in technical docs or logs can cause critical misconfigurations. AP style prefers Month Date, Year for text. ISO 8601 is the unambiguous international standard for machine-readable contexts.
