-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------
The calendar widget for date fields in the admin has a discrepancy in how
"today" is calculated.
The widget input treats "today" as in server time.
But the highlighting in bold of "today's" entry on the calendar squares
(`class = "today"`) is calculated in local time. (After #36459 this will
also affect an aria-label on that square.)
This means that for a TIME_ZONE of UTC+12 (`TIME_ZONE = "Pacific/Nauru"`)
and a local time of something else (for me, `America/NewYork`), the
"Today" button produces the date in Nauru, but the previous date is
highlighted with `class="today"`.
The proposal for #35951 passes the server timezone to the frontend. Once
that is in place, we can use it to remove this discrepancy by making
"today" always calculated the same.
