Research direction

Start by reproducing the Asia/Colombo result for 1996 and comparing it with 2020, using the existing time-zone validation entry point described by the issue. Trace how is_standard_time_zone determines a zone's status across years. Done means the check gives consistent, year-appropriate results for Colombo and the regression is covered by a test.
