Historical time zones

Lord Howe: a 30-minute DST offset

Not every daylight-saving transition is a full hour.

Boundary question

Does the time-zone adapter preserve Lord Howe's 30-minute DST rule?

Yes. The receipt records UTC+11:00 with a 30-minute DST component instead of assuming 60 minutes.

Conventions and limits

What this case does — and does not — prove

It verifies

Deterministic reproduction of this input under the named engine version and conventions. A pinned-field mismatch stops the production build.

It does not claim

Universal agreement across Bazi schools, interpretation of a real person, or certainty where the historical record is incomplete.
