## Summary
- allow ISO 8601 normalization callers to provide an explicit fallback
while preserving the existing default behavior
- use the extraction conversation time when `valid_at` is missing or
invalid
- clear an invalid optional `invalid_at` instead of writing an
unparseable value
- include the rejected timestamp value in the error log
This addresses the timestamp write-through portion of #18415. It is
intentionally separate from #18462, which fixes the semantic output
prompt.

Recovery PR for #16173 after the fork branch was accidentally reset
during rewrite-cleanup.
Cherry-picked onto current `main`:
- fix(common/time_utils): correct fallback timestamp and ISO-8601
normalization
- fix(common/time_utils): preserve zero timestamps and mark regression
tests
- test(common/time_utils): make fallback assertions deterministic
Supersedes closed#16173 — same branch
