Add extensions.dailies.date_format config option (default "%Y-%m-%d") that controls the strftime format used for daily note filenames. Changes: - date_string() now takes roam param and uses configured format - path_to_date() now takes roam param and reverse-parses custom formats using generated Lua patterns from the strftime format string - buf_to_date() updated to pass roam param - roam_dailies_files() validates filenames against configured format - roam_dailies_dates() uses path_to_date for consistent parsing - All call sites updated to pass roam where needed For the default %Y-%m-%d format, behavior is fully backwards-compatible and uses orgmode's existing date parser. Custom formats use a pattern- matching approach that supports common strftime codes (%Y, %m, %d, etc).
