# [BUG] Quick add date defaults to tomorrow in evening
## Description
The date pre-filled in quick add defaults to tomorrow when used during the evening.
## Symptom
When adding a task in the evening, the date field pre-fills with tomorrow's date instead of today.
## Technical Context
- Likely a timezone or date boundary issue
- Server may be using UTC while user expects local time
- Or JavaScript date handling crossing midnight boundary incorrectly
## Test Strategy
### Unit Test (Red)
**File:** `internal/handlers/handlers_test.go`
```go
func TestQuickAddDefaultDate(t *testing.T) {
tests := []struct {
name string
serverTime time.Time
userTZ string
expectedDate string
}{
{
name: "evening in US Eastern",
serverTime: time.Date(2026, 1, 21, 23, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC), // 6pm ET
userTZ: "America/New_York",
expectedDate: "2026-01-21", // Should be today, not tomorrow
},
{
name: "late night edge case",
serverTime: time.Date(2026, 1, 22, 4, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC), // 11pm ET
userTZ: "America/New_York",
expectedDate: "2026-01-21",
},
}
// ...
}
```
## Proposed Approach
1. **Identify the source:**
- Check quick-add handler: how is default date determined?
- Check template: is date set server-side or client-side JS?
- Check if using `time.Now()` (server's timezone) vs user's timezone
2. **Likely fix:**
- If server-side: pass user's timezone preference and convert
- If client-side: use `new Date()` which uses browser's local time
- Ensure consistent timezone handling throughout
3. **Verify date calculation:**
- `today` should be based on user's local date, not UTC date
- Evening in US Eastern (UTC-5) at 8pm = UTC next day 1am
## Debugging Steps
1. Check current time on server vs browser
2. Inspect what value is sent in quick-add form
3. Check JavaScript date initialization if client-side
4. Check Go `time.Now()` usage if server-side
## Affected Components
- `internal/handlers/handlers.go` (quick-add endpoint/template data)
- `web/templates/partials/` (quick-add form)
- `web/static/` (if JS sets date)
- Potentially user preferences for timezone
## Definition of Done
- [ ] Quick add defaults to user's local today, regardless of time
- [ ] Works correctly in evening hours
- [ ] Works across timezone boundaries
- [ ] Unit test covers evening edge case
