Description

### Feature Summary

Dashboard date filters use lenient parsing and do not translate parse failures into client errors.

Before: a non-date value returns 500, while an impossible calendar date is silently normalized and returns 200.
After: malformed and impossible dates return 400, while valid ISO dates remain accepted.

Reproduction evidence:

1. Start the local development backend from main.
2. Request `GET /api/dashboard/publicSearch?resourceType=workflow&createDateStart=bogus` and observe HTTP 500.
3. Request the endpoint with `modifiedDateEnd=2026-99-99` and observe HTTP 200.
4. Request the endpoint with `createDateStart=2026-01-01` and observe HTTP 200.

Version and commit evidence:
