test: Add timezone safety analysis and additional verification tests

- timezone-safety-analysis.test.ts: Comprehensive analysis of timezone
  behavior across different timezones and edge cases
- issue-context-menu-completion-date-fix.test.ts: Additional verification
  of the fix implementation

These tests provide broader coverage of timezone scenarios and confirm
that the fix works correctly across different timezone boundaries.
The analysis shows the fix is robust for most use cases while identifying
potential edge cases for future consideration.

/**
* Test for Context Menu Completion Date Fix

* This test verifies that the fix for the context menu completion date bug works correctly.
* The fix ensures that all date formatting uses formatUTCDateForCalendar() consistently
* to avoid timezone-related off-by-one errors.
