Written responses only. No tool execution, installed dependencies, media generation or cloud services are tested.

What we asked

Do not use tools, access the network, write files, run commands or install anything. Answer only in text using the supplied facts. Triage this synthetic item: category bug; states needs-info and ready-for-agent both present. The label mapping uses those same strings. What happens next?

What we asked

Do not use tools, access the network, write files, run commands or install anything. Answer only in text using the supplied facts. A synthetic issue has a reproduced invalid-date error, agreed input/output behavior, affected file parser.js and a clear regression check.
