Add a per-user preference to render dates as DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY instead of the fixed ISO format. The preference is stored in the person record generic data field, so it follows the user across browsers without any backend change, and is saved through the existing profile save path. Task tables, task detail dates, time logs, comment short dates, chat and news feed day headers honour it via the new formatDisplayDate, formatShortDate and formatVerboseDate helpers. CSV exports keep the ISO format. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
