+ * Test Suite: ResumePreviewForm Timezone Normalization & Calendar Boundary Alignment
+ *
+ * This test suite validates timezone normalization and calendar data boundary alignment
+ * in the ResumePreviewForm component, particularly for date fields in Education and
+ * Experience sections. Time offsets can shift activity blocks between dates, creating
+ * streaks divergence across viewers in different regions.
+ *
+ * Test Coverage:
+ * - Timezone normalization across UTC, EST, IST, and JST
+ * - Calendar date boundary alignment for visual alignment
+ * - Leap year boundary parsing without gaps
+ * - Calendar date format utility outputs across locales
+ * - Daylight savings transition handling
