📌 Summary

Fixes timezone inconsistency in activity time-series bucket calculations in buildTimeSeries().

GitHub timestamps are in UTC (e.g. 2026-11-01T00:30:00Z). Previously, buildTimeSeries() derived monthly and weekly buckets using local date getters (getFullYear(), getMonth(), getDay()), which caused identical events to fall into different months or weeks depending on the viewer's local timezone (e.g., negative UTC offsets like America/Los_Angeles).

This PR switches monthly and weekly bucket key generation in src/services/analytics.js to deterministic UTC calendar methods (getUTCFullYear(), getUTCMonth(), getUTCDate(), getUTCDay(), Date.UTC()).

Closes #380

---

🔍 Problem & Root Cause

When analyzing activity trends across teams:

• An issue or PR created at 2026-11-01T00:30:00Z was assigned to:
  • 2026-11 in UTC
  • 2026-10 in America/Los_Angeles (PDT/PST)
• Similarly, for weekly granularity, 2026-01-03T00:30:00Z was assigned to:
  • 2026-W02 in UTC
  • 2026-W01 in America/Los_Angeles

This created inconsistent analytics metrics and visualizations when viewed by team members across different time zones.

---

🛠️ Solution

In src/services/analytics.js (buildTimeSeries):

1. Monthly Buckets: Replaced d.getFullYear() and d.getMonth() with d.getUTCFullYear() and d.getUTCMonth().
2. Weekly Buckets: Computed year, start of year (Date.UTC(year, 0, 1)), day of year, and first day of the year (getUTCDay()) strictly using UTC date arithmetic so week boundaries are deterministic regardless of the environment's timezone.

🧪 Testing & Validation

1. Unit Test Added in src/services/analytics.buildTimeSeries.test.js:
   • Sets boundary events:
     • Monthly: 2026-11-01T00:30:00Z
     • Weekly: 2026-01-03T00:30:00Z
   • Verifies that bucket labels generated under process.env.TZ = 'UTC' match exactly with those under process.env.TZ = 'America/Los_Angeles'.
   • Safely preserves and restores the original process.env.TZ state in a finally block (deleting it if originally undefined).
2. Test Suite Verification:
   • npx vitest run src/services/analytics.buildTimeSeries.test.js passed (11 tests).
   • Full test suite passing.
   • CodeRabbit review approved with 0 unresolved comments.
   • All CI checks passing cleanly with no merge conflicts.

Walkthrough

Weekly and monthly analytics bucket keys now use UTC calendar fields. A test verifies that the same timestamps produce matching labels under UTC and Los Angeles timezones.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to a509b

The change keeps monthly and weekly activity buckets consistent across viewer timezones, and the regression test covers timestamps that previously produced different labels. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Explanation

Issue #380 requires the same month and week for one GitHub timestamp in every viewer timezone. buildTimeSeries now uses UTC fields for monthly buckets and UTC-based date arithmetic for weekly buckets. The added test checks the near-midnight timestamps in UTC and America/Los_Angeles and verifies equal bucket labels.

The weeks align, the months agree,
Across the zones, consistently.

No timezone sends them astray.}

Hi @Ri1tik,

Sorry for the brief description! Here is what this PR addresses:

Problem: buildTimeSeries() previously used local date methods (getFullYear(), getMonth()). Because GitHub provides UTC timestamps, an event like 2026-11-01T00:30:00Z shifted into the previous month (2026-10) or previous week for viewers in negative UTC offsets (e.g., US timezones), causing inconsistent analytics across users.
Fix: Switched bucket key generation in src/services/analytics.js to UTC methods (getUTCFullYear(), getUTCMonth(), Date.UTC()) so bucket labels are deterministic and timezone-independent.
Testing: Added a test in analytics.buildTimeSeries.test.js verifying that boundary timestamps yield identic

Hi @Ri1tik,

I have updated the PR description above with comprehensive details covering the background, root cause, code changes, and test validation.

Quick Summary:

• Problem: buildTimeSeries() previously used local date methods (getFullYear(), getMonth()). Since GitHub timestamps are in UTC, an event such as 2026-11-01T00:30:00Z shifted into the previous month (2026-10) or week for viewers in negative UTC offsets (e.g. US timezones like America/Los_Angeles), causing inconsistent analytics across users.
• Fix: Switched bucket key generation in src/services/analytics.js to UTC methods (getUTCFullYear(), getUTCMonth(), Date.UTC(), getUTCDate(), getUTCDay()) so bucket labels are deterministic and timezone-independent.
• Testing: Added regression tests in src/services/analytics.buildTimeSeries.test.js verifying that boundary timestamps yield identical bucket labels across both UTC and America/Los_Angeles, while safely restoring process.env.TZ.
• Status: CodeRabbit review has approved, all 5 CI checks have passed, and there are no merge conflicts with main.
