Research direction

Start with the linked Django time-zone documentation, then locate the Django date/time rendering paths and determine whether the React app also displays affected values. Done means dates and times shown to users use their selected time zone, with coverage for the relevant rendering paths; the issue currently provides no files, tests, or acceptance details.
