Bug

Lineage

Standalone — discovered during photo upload testing after PR #36 deployed.

Repo

ldraney/landscaping-assistant

What Broke

All timestamps display in UTC instead of Mountain Time. Upload at 6:31 AM MDT shows as 12:31 PM. Affects upload timestamps and any future datetime displays.

Repro Steps

  1. Upload a photo at 6:31 AM MDT
  2. View the photo in the Photos tab
  3. Observe: timestamp shows 12:31 PM (UTC)

Expected Behavior

Timestamps display in Mountain Time (MDT/MST).

Environment

  • Cluster/namespace: landscaping-assistant (prod)
  • Service version/commit: 4c82c6d
  • Related alerts: none

Acceptance Criteria

  • config.time_zone set to "Mountain Time (US & Canada)" in application.rb
  • Upload timestamps display in MDT/MST
  • Existing created_at values still correct (Postgres stores UTC, Rails converts on display)
  • project-landscaping-assistant — project this affects
  • ldraney/landscaping-assistant #33 — upload feature where this was discovered
