Research direction
Start with the Python connector, jsonlines and Kafka connector entry points, then trace how schemas and pathway types carry auxiliary information. Define how datetime formatting is represented and how connectors preprocess values from it. Done means connectors no longer pass datetime values only as strings and the requested formatting behavior is covered.
