Not a formatting slip in one string: fourteen views and four components printed database values straight out, so every absolute time in the product was two hours out all summer and one hour out all winter. Two of those views looked as though they had handled it. They called ->timezone(config('app.timezone')) which reads like "convert to local time" and, app.timezone being the STORAGE zone that must stay UTC, converts to UTC — a no-op wearing the costume of a fix, which is worse than no call at all because it stops the next person looking. That exact string is now banned by test. Worse than the labels were two FORMS. Maintenance windows and plan versions filled their datetime-local fields from UTC and parsed what came back as UTC. A datetime-local field carries no offset — it is the digits a person reads off their own clock — so an operator typing 21:00 scheduled a window for 23:00 their time, and nothing anywhere said so. App\Support\LocalTime now holds toField() and fromField() side by side, because getting one end right is not half a fix, it is a fresh bug. The mechanism is one Carbon macro, ->local(). It copies before converting: Illuminate\Support\Carbon is mutable, so without that, rendering a timestamp would rewrite the model attribute as a side effect and anything comparing or saving it afterwards would be an hour or two out. Both Carbon classes get the same body — Carbon keeps macros in one global table, so the second registration replaces the first for every Carbon class, and two different bodies meant the immutable version, safe for itself, silently became the mutable one's implementation too. My own test caught that. The existing tests had not caught any of this because they built their expected values with the same wrong call the views used — a test that recomputes the implementation asserts nothing. They now assert the wall clock, and the queued update additionally asserts that the UTC time is NOT shown. Recorded as R19 in CLAUDE.md and enforced by tests/Feature/DisplayTimezoneTest: no Blade or Livewire component may format an absolute time without ->local(), the UTC no-op is banned, storage stays UTC, both sides of the DST boundary are checked, ->local() must not mutate, and a form field must round-trip to the same instant.
