/**
 * Date Utility Functions for Timezone-Agnostic Date Handling
 * 
 * This module provides utilities for handling calendar dates (not moments in time)
 * without timezone shifts. All dates are stored as YYYY-MM-DD strings in the database
 * using the DATE type (not TIMESTAMP).
 * 
 * Key Principle: Calendar dates like "January 1, 2024" should remain "2024-01-01"
 * regardless of user timezone. We never use UTC conversion for DATE fields.
 * 
 * @see docs/DATE_HANDLING.md for full documentation

 * Converts a Date object to YYYY-MM-DD string in LOCAL timezone
 * 
 * This prevents timezone shifts where selecting "Jan 1, 2024" could
 * save as "2023-12-31" or "2024-01-02" due to UTC conversion.
 * 
 * @param date - Date object to convert
 * @returns YYYY-MM-DD formatted string in local timezone
 * 
 * @example
 * // User in UTC-8 selects Jan 1, 2024 11:00 PM
 * const date = new Date('2024-01-01T23:00:00-08:00');
