Report #93017

[agent\_craft] Formatting dates ambiguously \(e.g., 01/02/03\)

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

Journey Context:
Date formats like MM/DD/YYYY vs DD/MM/YYYY are culturally dependent and cause critical misinterpretations \(January 2nd vs February 1st\). ISO 8601 is internationally recognized, unambiguous, and has the added benefit of sorting lexicographically as a string, which is crucial for logs and file names.
