Description

CAPTURE_DATE and CAPTURE_DATE_PREV are used in DevDB, and must be updated manually in recipe. These could be determined and set logically from the version (23Q4 -> 2024-01-01 and 2023-07-01 for date and date_prev, respectively)

Research direction

Start by locating the DevDB recipe and the code that parses or receives its version value. Trace how CAPTURE_DATE and CAPTURE_DATE_PREV are currently supplied, then verify that versions such as 23Q4 produce 2024-01-01 and 2023-07-01 without manual recipe updates.
