+# DST: duration across a DST transition ignores the gained/lost hour
+
+## Type
+- [x] Bug
+
+## Priority
+- [ ] P2 - Medium (TCK conformance; blocks the "100% TCK" goal)
+
+## Objective
+`duration.inSeconds` / `duration.between` over an interval that crosses a DST
+transition must account for the gained/lost hour (wall-clock vs elapsed time).
+Closes **Temporal10 [8]** (8 examples).
+
+## Impact Assessment
+- **Affected:** openCypher TCK Temporal10 [8] "Should handle durations at daylight
+  saving time day" — 8 example rows.
+- **Reproduction:**
+  ```cypher
+  RETURN duration.inSeconds(
+    datetime({year:2017, month:10, day:29, hour:0, timezone:'Europe/Stockholm'}),
+    localdatetime({year:2017, month:10, day:29, hour:4})
+  ) AS d
+  ```
+- **Expected vs Actual:** expected `PT5H` (2017-10-29 is the Stockholm fall-back
+  day; 00:00->04:00 wall clock = 5 real hours because 03:00 falls back to 02:00);
+  actual `PT4H` (flat UTC diff using a single offset, missing the extra hour).
+  Also `... date({year:2017,month:10,day:30})` expects `PT25H`, we give `PT24H`.
+
+## Root cause (shared — see also [[GQLITE-T-0343]] / [[GQLITE-T-0344]])
+`apply_duration_to_temporal` / the temporal-diff helpers compute elapsed time with
+ONE offset for the whole interval. Across a DST transition the offset changes
+mid-interval, so the elapsed seconds differ from `end_utc - start_utc` computed
+with a single offset. Correct handling needs the exact transition INSTANT for the
+named zone, which requires real IANA tzdata (see T-0344). Implementation analysis
+in [[GQLITE-T-0341]] (initiative [[GQLITE-I-0049]]).
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] Temporal10 [8] all 8 examples pass
+- [ ] Zero TCK regressions (rigorous full pass-set diff); unit 944/944; functional clean
+
+## Notes
+Deferred from the +30 Temporal push (PR #88). Likely depends on the IANA-tzdata
+work in [[GQLITE-T-0344]] (need transition instants, not just an offset-by-date).

+# DST: named-zone offset uses coarse month approximation, not historical rules
+
+## Type
+- [x] Bug
+
+## Priority
+- [ ] P2 - Medium (TCK conformance; blocks "100% TCK")
+
+## Objective
+Resolve a named zone's UTC offset for a given date using the zone's actual DST
+transition dates, including historical changes — not the current coarse
+"April–September = summer" month heuristic. Closes **Temporal3 [10]** (2 remaining
+tz-conversion examples) and is a prerequisite for clean DST elsewhere.
+
+## Impact Assessment
+- **Affected:** `named_tz_offset()` in `src/backend/runtime/udf_helpers.c`, used by
+  datetime construction, parsing, `duration.between`, the `.offset`/`.epochSeconds`
+  accessors, and time rendering.
+- **Reproduction:**
+  ```cypher
+  RETURN datetime({year:1984, month:3, day:28, hour:12, timezone:'Europe/Stockholm'})
+  ```
+  Expected `1984-03-28T12:00+02:00[Europe/Stockholm]` (DST started 1984-03-25);
+  the coarse month rule yields `+01:00` for March. (Direct construction was made
+  to work; the SELECT/tz-conversion forms in Temporal3 [10] ex31/32 remain.)
+
+## Root cause + the trap (CRITICAL)
+The coarse heuristic is **load-bearing**. A naive "modern" last-Sunday-of-March..
+October EU rule REGRESSED **-52 examples**, because the TCK uses HISTORICALLY
+accurate IANA data: pre-1996 EU DST ended the last Sunday of SEPTEMBER (so
+`1984-10-11 Stockholm = +01:00`, not `+02:00`). A regression-free improvement was
+prototyped — historical end-month `(y>=1996)?Oct:Sep` + threading the real base
+date into `_gql_tz_offset_for(tz, _gql_date_compose(... $.date, $.datetime))` — and
+it fixes individual examples but flips no full scenario (so it was reverted to keep
+PR #88 clean). Full correctness needs real IANA transition tables (see
+[[GQLITE-T-0344]]). Detailed analysis: [[GQLITE-T-0341]] / [[GQLITE-I-0049]].
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] Temporal3 [10] all examples pass
+- [ ] No regression in Temporal1 [10], Temporal3 [3]/[9]/[11] (the -52 trap)
+- [ ] Rigorous full pass-set diff zero regressions; unit 944/944; functional clean
+
+## Notes
+Re-derive the regression-free foundation from the 2026-06-01 note in
+[[GQLITE-T-0341]] when picking this up. Shares root cause with [[GQLITE-T-0342]],
+[[GQLITE-T-0344]].

+# DST: datetime string parse doesn't resolve named-zone historical/LMT offset
+
+## Type
+- [x] Bug
+
+## Priority
+- [ ] P3 - Low (needs an embedded IANA tz database; largest/most data-heavy)
+
+## Objective
+Parsing a datetime string that carries a named zone must insert the resolved
+numeric offset (including pre-standardization Local Mean Time) before the
+`[Region]` suffix. Closes **Temporal2 [6]** (2 examples) and is the umbrella
+"embed IANA tzdata" work the other two DST bugs depend on.
+
+## Impact Assessment
+- **Affected:** `gql_normalize_datetime_func` in `src/backend/runtime/udf_helpers.c`.
+- **Reproduction / Expected vs Actual:**
+  - `datetime('2015-07-21T21:40:32.142[Europe/London]')`
+    expected `2015-07-21T21:40:32.142+01:00[Europe/London]`,
+    actual `2015-07-21T21:40:32.142[Europe/London]` (no resolved offset inserted).
+  - `datetime('1818-07-21T21:40:32.142[Europe/Stockholm]')`
+    expected `1818-07-21T21:40:32.142+00:53:28[Europe/Stockholm]` — **Local Mean
+    Time** (Stockholm's longitude-based offset before standardized zones in 1879).
+
+## Root cause
+1. The datetime string normalizer keeps the `[Region]` bracket but never computes
+   and inserts the offset for the value's date.
+2. `+00:53:28` cannot be produced by ANY rule — it is historical LMT data. This is
+   the hard floor: full Temporal DST conformance requires embedding the real IANA
+   tz database (transition instants + historical/LMT offset records). A rule-based
+   approximation (see [[GQLITE-T-0343]]) cannot reach these cases.
+
+## Suggested approach
+- Embed a compact subset of IANA tzdata for the zones the TCK exercises
+  (Europe/Stockholm, Europe/London, Europe/Paris, Europe/Berlin, America/New_York,
+  America/Los_Angeles, Pacific/Honolulu, America/Anchorage, Asia/Tokyo,
+  Asia/Shanghai, Australia/Sydney, Pacific/Auckland, Australia/Eucla, ...),
+  including historical transitions and pre-standard LMT, OR vendor a tz library.
+- Replace `named_tz_offset` + the transition logic with lookups against it; this
+  then unblocks [[GQLITE-T-0342]] (across-transition elapsed) and
+  [[GQLITE-T-0343]] (offset-by-date).
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] Temporal2 [6] examples pass (incl. the 1818 LMT case)
+- [ ] Rigorous full pass-set diff zero regressions; unit 944/944; functional clean
+
+## Notes
+This is the foundational DST item; [[GQLITE-T-0342]] and [[GQLITE-T-0343]] likely
+collapse into it once real tzdata is available. Context: [[GQLITE-T-0341]],
+[[GQLITE-I-0049]].
