Fix logic errors in task scheduling date/time calculations

[Copilot]

📋 Description

Date calculations in task scheduling contained three critical logic errors: off-by-one time errors, unsafe string concatenation, and incorrect same-day weekday handling.

Issues Fixed

1. Off-by-one errors in due date calculations

// Before: Tasks due 1 hour early
if (dateStr === 'today') return new Date(today.getTime() + 23 * 60 * 60 * 1000)
if (dateStr === 'tomorrow') return new Date(today.getTime() + 47 * 60 * 60 * 1000)

// After: Proper end-of-day calculation
if (dateStr === 'today') {
    const todayEnd = new Date(today)
    todayEnd.setHours(23, 59, 59, 999)
    return todayEnd.toISOString()
}

Tasks scheduled for "today" were due at 11 PM instead of midnight. "Tomorrow" tasks lost the final hour.

2. Unsafe date construction via string concatenation

// Before: Timezone-dependent string concatenation
const tomorrow = new Date(today + "T23:59:59Z").toISOString()

// After: Proper Date API usage
const tomorrowDate = new Date(now)
tomorrowDate.setDate(tomorrowDate.getDate() + 1)
tomorrowDate.setHours(23, 59, 59, 999)
const tomorrow = tomorrowDate.toISOString()

3. Same-day weekday scheduling prevented

// Before: Scheduling "Monday" on Monday pushed to next week
if (daysToAdd <= 0) daysToAdd += 7

// After: Allows same-day scheduling
if (daysToAdd < 0) daysToAdd += 7

4. Inconsistent millisecond precision
Standardized all end-of-day times to 23:59:59.999 (previously mixed 23:59:0:0 and 23:59:59:999).

Pull request overview

Fixes task scheduling/due-date calculation issues by correcting end-of-day handling and removing unsafe date-string concatenation, improving correctness of planner-related scheduling behavior.

Changes:

• Adjust parseDateHeuristic to compute end-of-day timestamps using setHours(23,59,59,999) and allow same-day weekday scheduling.
• Fix daily digest “tomorrow” cutoff construction to avoid timezone-dependent string concatenation.
• Includes additional unrelated changes (flashcards route import, backend core import path, CI workflow indentation).

The daily digest window mixes local time (getHours()/getMinutes()) with a UTC-based day key (now.toISOString().slice(0, 10)). Since the new tomorrowDate logic is based on local time, this UTC/local mismatch can cause the digest to run under the wrong today value (and misclassify dueToday) for users not in UTC. Consider deriving today from local midnight (e.g., new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), now.getDate())) and using that consistently for lastDigest, dueToday comparisons, and the dueBefore cutoff.

In parseDateHeuristic, tomorrow is computed by adding 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 milliseconds to today. This can produce wrong calendar dates around DST transitions (a “day” isn’t always 24h). Prefer using the Date API (setDate(getDate()+1) / setDate(getDate()+daysToAdd)) for day arithmetic; same concern applies to the other places in this function that add N * 24h in milliseconds (weekday calculation, fallback tomorrow, next/this week).

[Copilot]

This weekday branch builds targetDate via today.getTime() + daysToAdd * 24h. That has the same DST-related calendar-day risk as the tomorrow calculation and can land on the wrong local day/hour when clocks shift. Use new Date(today) plus setDate(today.getDate() + daysToAdd) instead of millisecond arithmetic.
