Description
Related to #1875, about falling back to UTC if browser time zone is not recognized. In general we take UTC timestamps from the API and display them in the user’s local time. It would be good to say the time zone when we do that. It might also be nice to be able to get everything in UTC if desired. This could be a user setting stored in the DB. We don’t really have any of those yet, but we could!

Research direction
Start by reading related issue #1875 and tracing how UTC API timestamps are converted to the browser’s local time. Before implementation, clarify whether the goal is displaying the selected time zone, supporting a UTC preference, or both; done should be defined by an agreed user-facing behavior.
