Description

When submitting an action late in the evening on the exact day it is due, the system incorrectly flags the submission as "1 days late." This could to be due to a time zone mismatch?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the dashboard and open an action due on the current day.
  2. Submit the action late in the evening local time (8:25 PM EDT).
  3. View the submission confirmation on the dashboard.
  4. Panic and read the submission and due date times twice but a "1 days late" flag appears despite being submitted on same day.

Expected behavior
The UI should explicitly display the exact cutoff time and time zone on the action ("Due: 09/04/2026 at 23:59 EDT") and allow for the creation of actions with specific due date time.
