+"""Tests for UTC normalization at the triggers HTTP boundary.
+
+SQLite drops the tzinfo of ``DateTime(timezone=True)`` columns on
+read, so naive datetimes can leak into the API layer. Both the
+manual aggregator serializer (``_iso``) and the SQLModel
+``TriggerJobRead`` must coerce them to UTC-aware ISO strings so the
+browser does not interpret them in its local timezone.
