- Around line 5370-5385: The github_pr_creation_time_reaches_frontend test only
verifies createdAt propagation for pull requests. Extend the relevant issue test
coverage around parse_github_work_item with a valid issue fixture containing
createdAt and assert that the serialized payload preserves it; also exercise the
separate issue query path if it has an independently testable entry point.

44-53: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winThis test covers valid and absent
createdAtvalues, but not a nonempty invalid value. A regression that rendersCreated Invalid Date(or otherwise displays Created for an unparsable provider timestamp) would still pass despite the required invalid-timestamp behavior. Add an invalidcreatedAtfixture and assert that the Created label is absent.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

nice addition @ognjeeen. looks good, merging :) |
* Show creation timestamps in Inbox details * Test creation timestamps for GitHub issues
What changed
Show Created alongside Updated in Inbox details when a valid creation timestamp is available. Fetch and preserve GitHub
createdAtfor pull requests and issues, and expose the exact creation time on hover.Why
An item's last update does not indicate its age. Showing both dates avoids opening GitHub just to find when a PR or issue was created. Missing or invalid creation dates retain the existing Updated-only display.
Closes #230.
UI
The Created label uses the existing centered metadata row. List ordering is unchanged. Local mock data was used for desktop validation and is not included in this PR.

Validation
npm run checkpassed: 2,041 frontend tests, TypeScript, Rust formatting, Clippy with warnings denied, and 220 Rust tests. Added coverage for native timestamp serialization and displaying or omitting Created in Inbox details.Checklist
