- #47394: \[Feature\]: Date/Time Consistency
- PR #41156: fix(desktop): clean up artifacts indexing

These issues and PRs address incorrect artifact timestamps displaying as Jan 1970 or Jan 21 dates, caused by epoch seconds being passed to a milliseconds-expecting Date constructor. Several members also cover related over-indexing of non-artifact page references in the desktop artifacts panel.

## TL;DR

- 19 member(s): 1 open issue(s), 5 closed issue(s), 1 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 11 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #86749. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #86749 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `partially_resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-86749`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.13`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
