Full Release Notes

## Release Notes

### Minor Changes

- 47afe5f: Use Google account timezone instead of machine-local time for day-boundary calculations in calendar and workflow helpers. Adds `--timezone` flag to `+agenda` for explicit override. Timezone is fetched from Calendar Settings API and cached for 24 hours.

### Patch Changes

- c61b9cb: fix(gmail): RFC 2047 encode non-ASCII display names in To/From/Cc/Bcc headers

  Fixes mojibake when sending emails to recipients with non-ASCII display names (e.g. Japanese, Spanish accented characters). The new `encode_address_header()` function parses mailbox lists, encodes only the display-name portion via RFC 2047 Base64, and leaves email addresses untouched.
