Seeded from a repair rule that fires on real calls: a slash date is refused with a repair instruction instead of being read. Why not just guess?

Because 03/04/2026 is 3 April in most of the world and 4 March in the US; a wrong guess silently changes a deadline or an invoice. Send dates as YYYY-MM-DD. The gateway converts a date by itself only for a date field and only when it cannot be read two ways, and it states the change in its answer.
