[agent\_craft] Standard format for dates and times in international docs

Use the format YYYY-MM-DD for dates. Use 24-hour time for timestamps \(HH:MM:SS\). Always include the timezone offset or name.

Journey Context:
Ambiguous formats like MM/DD/YYYY vs DD/MM/YYYY cause critical failures in global systems. ISO 8601 \(YYYY-MM-DD\) is universally unambiguous and sorts correctly as a string, making it the only safe default for technical documentation.
