fix: use UTC getters in formatDate/formatDateTime to prevent timezone drift - #3782
Conversation
… drift
`formatDateTime` and `formatDate` use `new Date(input)` followed by
local-time getters (`getFullYear`, `getMonth`, `getDate`, `getHours`,
etc.). On CI runners or servers not in UTC, this produces shifted dates.
For example, `formatDate("2023-01-01T00:30:00Z")` on a UTC+2 machine
returns "2023-01-01" correctly, but on a UTC-5 machine it returns
"2022-12-31" because 00:30 UTC is still Dec 31 in UTC-5.
Since these functions serialize values for D1/SQLite storage where
dates are inherently UTC, this commit:
1. Early-returns when input is already in canonical format (avoids
needless round-trip through Date).
2. Normalizes space-separated datetime strings ("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss")
to ISO format with Z suffix before parsing, ensuring UTC interpretation.
3. Replaces all local-time getters with UTC equivalents.
Both copies (src/utils and src/runtime/internal/preview) are updated.
Tests are updated to assert deterministic UTC output.

timestamp (e.g. via Date.UTC(year, month-1, day, ...)) and verify that the

src/runtime/internal/preview/utils.tssrc/utils/content/transformers/utils.tstest/unit/formatDate.test.ts
- Remove `typeof x === 'string'` checks — the parameter types already enforce string input at the TypeScript level - formatDateTime now extracts all date/time components from a single parsed Date object instead of delegating to formatDate(). This avoids parsing and normalizing the input twice and makes the data flow clearer.
…lers The build-time collection utilities pass Date objects (cast with `as string`) to these functions. Rather than the previous `typeof` ternary pattern, explicitly widen the type to `string | Date` and normalize with `instanceof Date` at the entry point. This is cleaner than the previous approach because: - The type signature documents the actual runtime contract - A single coercion path at the top (no branching in the middle) - Date objects get proper UTC handling via `.toISOString()`

Description
formatDateTimeandformatDateusenew Date(input)followed by local-time getters (getFullYear,getMonth,getDate,getHours, etc.). On CI runners or servers not running in UTC, this produces shifted dates.For example,
formatDate("2023-01-01T00:30:00Z")on a UTC-5 machine returns"2022-12-31"because 00:30 UTC is still Dec 31 in UTC-5.Since these functions serialize values for D1/SQLite storage where dates should be treated as UTC, the local-time getters produce incorrect results.
This was also flagged in the code review of #3698 but was not addressed in the merge.
