fix: Google Tasks due dates shifted a day earlier in negative-offset timezones
Google Tasks' due field is date-only but always serialized as an
RFC3339 timestamp fixed at midnight UTC regardless of the user's
timezone. Converting that instant into displayTZ (dueDate.In(tz))
reinterpreted it as a real moment in time instead of re-anchoring the
same calendar date to local midnight -- midnight UTC becomes 2pm the
previous day in UTC-10 (Pacific/Honolulu), so every dated Google Task
silently landed one day earlier than its actual due date. A task due
tomorrow showed up in today's section.
Fix: extract the Y/M/D from the UTC-anchored timestamp (which IS the
intended calendar date) and rebuild midnight in displayTZ from those
components, instead of converting the instant.
