+### Fixed

+- **Background jobs page showed last-run times two hours ahead** (e.g. 12:55 at 10:55). Prisma's
+  Postgres adapter dropped the time-zone offset of pg-boss's timestamps; the query now reads them
+  as UTC. Job history itself was never wrong. `APP_TIMEZONE` is now in `backend/.env.example` and
+  SETTINGS.md.

The Hub itself is `joshua/events-hub` 1.0.0 |
