Save as main.go and run go run main.go with Go 1.26 or later. Uses only the Go standard library. Work in a scratch directory for file examples.

Test inputs, results and environment
The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Dedicated test container, external networking disabled, read-only root, temporary per-example working directory. Browser network requests are blocked. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.

Test input setup
These are the prepared inputs used by the test harness. See Details above for the prerequisites and how to run this example.
# No input files required.
Observed standard output
1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
Exit code: 0. Standard error: empty. Validation: Exact stdout comparison. System-dependent values above are one recorded run.
Additional assertions that passed
Checks recorded by the test harness. Where Python assertions are shown, browser cases use Playwright and simulator cases may inspect pin transitions: result.stdout is captured output, work is the temporary directory, and Path is pathlib.Path. The harness also imports json and csv.
Exact stdout comparison; process returned zero without stderr.
