Description
Description
Context
In the Activate Work Package modal, the start date field currently defaults to the next Monday rather than the actual current date. We want it to default to today instead (still fully editable, since sometimes a work package actually started earlier and someone's activating it late).
Task
Change the default value of the start date field in the Activate modal from "next Monday" to today.
Acceptance Criteria
- When the Activate modal opens, the start date field shows today's date by default.
- The field is still editable to any date.
- Resetting the form (closing/reopening) still shows today, not a stale value.
- with live gantt sync

Research direction
Start at the Activate Work Package modal and locate the start date field's current next-Monday default. Change the default to today's date while preserving date editing and form reset behavior, then verify the modal opens and reopens with today selected and that live gantt sync still works.
