[Bug] Activity history timestamps are displayed in UTC instead of local system timezone #47

Description

@dannyneumann

Description

Timestamps shown in the Activity view appear to be rendered in hardcoded UTC rather than converting to the user's local system timezone.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Trigger an action in Forel in a timezone other than UTC (e.g., UTC+2 / CEST).
  2. Open the Activity history view.
  3. Check the timestamp of the recorded action against the current local system time.

Expected Behavior

Timestamps should be dynamically formatted according to the local system time and locale/timezone settings configured on the host machine (e.g., converting UTC to local time like 2026-09-01 09:55 when running in UTC+2/CEST).

Actual Behavior

The timestamp is displayed in UTC (e.g., 2026-09-01 07:55 when the local time is ~09:55 CEST), creating a timezone offset discrepancy.

Environment

  • OS: macOS
  • System Timezone: CEST (UTC+2)
  • Forel Version: 1.0.8
