Research direction

Start by locating the date parser entry point and the code that handles meridiem markers, then compare parsing for "at 3:00 p.m." and "at 3:00 pm". Confirm the existing behavior with the project's available tests or test command, and consider the issue done when both forms produce the same afternoon time.
